Today we are honored to stand alongside the Al Sigl Community of Agencies in support of the JustOne campaign.

This effort is about something larger than any single organization. It is about ensuring that people of all abilities across our community have access to the services, care, and opportunities that allow them to live full and connected lives. When one person gives, it strengthens an entire network of support that reaches thousands of neighbors and families throughout Greater Rochester.

We are grateful to be part of this shared mission and thankful to everyone who chooses to participate. Your generosity helps build a community where everyone belongs and everyone can move forward together.

Please consider making a gift through the JustOne campaign and joining this collective act of care.

Today we gathered for our annual Christmas luncheon, a long standing MMS tradition. It was a simple chance to slow down, share a meal, and say thank you to the people who show up every day for our riders and for one another. Good food, good company, and well earned appreciation. 🎄

Medical Motor Service is pleased to share a special holiday opportunity for riders in our Independence Program. Thanks to the generosity of foundations and donors, all rides are five dollars each way through 1/31/26. We hope this helps you stay independent, connected, and moving through the season with ease!

Today is ROC the Day, and our community is already buzzing. If Medical Motor Service has ever helped you or someone you care about get where they needed to go, today is the day to keep that work moving. Every ride matters. Every dollar keeps someone connected to care, to community, to a life that works.

Medical Motor Service has helped people reach essential care since 1918. We complete more than 143,000 rides each year for people who have no other way to get where they need to go.

On Tuesday December 2, ROC the Day runs for twenty four hours. Gifts made that day keep our vehicles on the road and keep rides affordable.

Ten dollars covers one ride for a neighbor who depends on us.
Give at www.roctheday.org/mmsnys on December 2.

Medical Motor Service came together today for a full Thanksgiving meal, shared with the people who keep this organization moving every day. It was a good reminder of why MMS has lasted more than a century: people who show up, do the work, and look out for one another.

Wishing our riders, partners, supporters, and staff a Happy Thanksgiving. May the week bring some peace, a warm table, and time with the people who matter!
