Boca Helping Hands is joining forces with the Boca Police Department and the Elks Lodge to bring the department of motor vehicles to those unable to travel. The Florida Licensing on Wheels program will be at the Elks Lodge, 1395 N. Federal Highway, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 17, and Boca Helping Hands will pay the fees for 30 to 40 underserved Boca residents.
“The DMV has been proactive in their efforts to identify the underserved in our state, and there are many in our community without proper identification. The cost of an ID is $10, which is a small price considering what an immense difference it will make in our clients’ quality of life,” said Gove.
Boca Police officer and longtime BHH volunteer Rosalind Gualtieri approached the nonprofit about the idea.
“I am proud to be a part of a community outreach effort between the DMV, local police, Boca Helping Hands and the Elks Lodge to provide much needed IDs to our homeless,” said Gualtiere. For directions and a list of what to bring, call 561-417-0913 or call Officer Gualtieri at 561-338-5450.
