The Volunteer Driver form will assist our driver coordinator to know when you can help AND what you feel comfortable doing. It is very important that you furnish us with a copy of both your auto insurance card and a copy of your Illinois Driver's license including the date of expiration, which must be in the future.

Helping Hands of Glenview is a non-profit organization founded among other purposes, to assist to fulfill the needs of the elderly and disabled of our Glenview community. As part of our services, rides are arranged for our clients at no charge and no compensation is expected by the volunteers.

The Board of Helping Hands does realize that a client might wish to express his/her gratitude to the driver. This intended compensation might, for example, be monetary or a small personal gift, or even an offer of a cup of coffee. We, the Board realize that no driver will ever accept a gift that would be considered disproportionate to the volunteer's services, i.e. any gift in excess of $50.00 with a twelve month period.

The Board does not wish to offend anyone with the above statement but it is included to satisfy statutes governing volunteer organizations in Illinois. If you have any questions, please direct them to our driver coordinator at (847) 729-8181.
