COLUMBUS, Ind. — A unique and generous offer from one of Bartholomew County’s leading manufacturers will help ensure veterans will continue to receive round trips to the Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis for medical appointments.
Toyota Material Handling North America is offering to provide drivers for the county-owned 12-passenger van purchased specifically for these medical trips, Veteran Services Officer Larry Garrity said Monday.
“Toyota has a program where people get four hours of pay for doing some kind of a community service,” Garrity said. “They are sending people in who want to drive for us.”
This is the second time within a week that the local Toyota plant has been lauded for their exceptional corporate citizenship. During the May 21 “Day of Caring”, the manufacturer provided more volunteer workers than any other participating company or organization, United Way Communications Manager Magen Pillar said.
