We are proud to share that Medical Motor Service has received a grant from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Foundation to support our Fleet Renewal and Replacement initiative.

Reliable transportation is essential for individuals with disabilities, older adults, and others who depend on access to medical care and community services. This investment will help ensure our vehicles remain safe and dependable for the people who rely on them every day.

For more than 100 years, Medical Motor Service has connected members of our community to healthcare, nutrition programs, employment opportunities, and other vital resources.

We are grateful to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Foundation for supporting this work.

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.
