Support Our Organization’s
Community Efforts
Medical Motor Service’s network provides invaluable transportation solutions for individuals in need, and we connect care professionals throughout Monroe County. All our efforts are designed to sustain a healthy community in and around Rochester. As a non-profit community organization, Medical Motor Service relies heavily on financial contributions and volunteer assistance from members of the public like you.
Ways To Help Others Who Use Medical Motor Service
You can help Medical Motor Service ensure that its important work continues to support elderly individuals and those with disabilities and special needs by making a financial or volunteer contribution.
Donate to Medical Motor Service
Every day in our community, people miss medical care, essential services, and basic human connection simply because they cannot get there. Medical Motor Service exists to solve that problem.
For more than one hundred years, MMS has provided specialized transportation for people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with complex medical needs. We are the oldest continuously operating nonprofit transportation provider of our kind in the nation, and we are still here for one reason: community support.
Your gift today helps keep people connected to care, dignity, and independence.
How Your Gift Makes a Difference
Transportation is not abstract. It is practical, measurable, and immediate.
- A gift of $25 helps cover the cost of a one-way trip for someone who would otherwise miss a medical appointment.
- A gift of $100 helps subsidize transportation for individuals with limited income through our Independence Program.
- A gift of $250 supports safe, reliable rides for people who use wheelchairs or require additional assistance.
- A gift of $500 helps maintain and operate specialized vehicles that serve our community every day.
- A gift of $1,000 supports vehicle replacement and upgrades that improve safety, reliability, and comfort for our riders.
Monthly gifts provide steady support and allow MMS to plan responsibly. Even a modest recurring donation makes a real difference over time.
For Those Who Want to Do More
Some supporters choose to make a deeper investment in the long-term stability of Medical Motor Service. We value and depend on that commitment.
Major gifts help replace vehicles, expand access for underserved populations, and ensure MMS can continue serving the community for future generations. Planned giving options, including charitable gift annuities, allow donors to support MMS while meeting their own financial and estate planning goals.
If you are considering a significant or planned gift, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Patrick McGrath, Development Director, at pmcgrath@mmsnys.org or 585-654-6030 x290.
