Lincoln County Friends in Service Helping – aka LC FISH — is a volunteer driving service for residents of Lincoln County. All rides are free, with drivers donating their time, vehicle, and gas. The destinations — both the distance and the purpose — are only limited by drivers’ willingness. Once a request is received at the LC FISH phone number, 350-9808, all the drivers are notified by a group email. Drivers do not have a quota, and each driver determines his or her availability.
LC FISH gave 98 rides in September and 138 in October. Given the demographics and geography of the area, there is a huge need. Ride requests are growing monthly, so LC FISH is always looking for more drivers. For more information, call Edie Vaughan at 677-6085 or email her at evaughan@tidewater.net.
