Ride Connection

🍻 Cheers to making a difference! Join us on Tuesday, August 4 at Oakshire Brewing (5013 NE 42nd Ave, Portland) for a day of great b**r, delicious food, and community support.

From 12 PM to 10 PM, $1 from every pint on Oakshire’s Core B**r Menu and 10% of Brew Fare food sales will support Ride Connection and our mission to help people stay independent, connected, and engaged in their communities!

Bring your friends, grab a bite, enjoy a drink, and help turn a simple outing into more rides and more connections for our neighbors. 💙

It’s simple, free, and makes a real impact!

Thank you for turning everyday shopping into community support.💙

💙 Every ride begins with someone who cares. Because of our donors, Ride Connection provided more than 327,000 rides and drove over 1.6 million miles last year, helping older adults get to medical appointments, people with disabilities get to work, and neighbors stay connected to the people and places that matter most.

Your generosity does more than fund transportation. It creates independence, dignity, opportunity, and connection. ❤️

To everyone who gives, thank you! Whether you've supported Ride Connection for years or made your very first gift, you are changing lives one ride at a time. We couldn't do it without you! 🌟

🤝🗺️ Sometimes the biggest barriers aren't the ones you can see.

A missed doctor's appointment. An empty refrigerator. A canceled visit with a friend. For thousands of people in our community, a lack of transportation can quickly become a barrier to health, independence, and connection.

Your gift to Ride Connection helps remove that barrier.

If you believe everyone deserves the freedom to stay connected to the people and places that matter most, we'd be honored to have your support. 💙

💙 Leave a legacy that keeps our community moving. 🚗

For many older adults and people with disabilities, transportation is a barrier to the outside world. For many people across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties, it’s a lifeline to healthcare, groceries, social connections, and independence. By including Ride Connection in your estate plans, you can help ensure future generations continue to have access to the transportation they need to thrive.

A legacy gift is a meaningful way to create lasting impact and support mobility, dignity, and connection for years to come. 🤝

🚐💙 Help keep our community moving month after month!

At Ride Connection, transportation means more than getting from one place to another. It means access to healthcare, groceries, social connections, and the independence so many of us value. By becoming a monthly donor, you help ensure older adults and people with disabilities can continue getting where they need to go, no matter the destination. Your recurring gift creates lasting impact, one ride at a time.

Join us in helping keep the wheels turning. 🛞
