Age-Friendly Communities of the Lower Kennebec (AFCLK)
VTP Updates
This Volunteer Transportation Program (VTP) is supported by a network of caring people at the Bath Police Department, AARP Maine, the Maine Council on Aging and the Network of Age-Friendly/Lifelong Communities in Maine. The program is only possible, however, with strong commitment of local residents. AFCLK is working to organize volunteers to get the program going in each of the six towns it serves.
