Earth Angel Driver

Become an Earth Angel volunteer. With the help of volunteer drivers, we can eliminate transportation entirely as a barrier to health and hope for our patients. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to drive our passengers from their medical facility to the airport or vice-versa. Angel Flight mostly utilizes small, private airports, so pick-up and drop-off is easy.

How you help Our network of 1,400+ volunteer pilots fly their own planes and, supported by our ground team of volunteers and staff, pay for all costs out of their own pockets, in order to make these critical journeys.
About us A small child, ravaged by cancer, needs specialized lifesaving treatment at a hospital 300 miles away. A father, separated from his family by a hurricane, wants desperately to be reunited. A domestic-violence survivor longs to start a new life in another city, but cannot afford to leave. These are just a few of the people to whom we offer help and hope. For those whose lives are in turmoil, the financial, physical, and emotional burdens can make ordinary trips extraordinarily difficult. That’s when they turn to Angel Flight West. The beneficiaries of the flight – the passengers and their families, the healthcare organizations – pay nothing at all, ever.
