Overcome Obstacles to Work
At Job Rides, we understand that getting the job is only half the problem.
For many low-income workers, the real barrier is getting to their jobs, day after day, week after week. Without access to reliable transportation, workers are faced with costly rides or hours-long bus routes.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to work and provide for their needs. As an employee partner or as a donor, you can make the difference for our neighbors to overcome obstacles through a consistent ride to work and stable income.
Here in Iowa, Job Rides is doing just that; Helping people Get to work,
but we need your help
