Opération Nez Rouge volunteers provided more than 1,800 rides home during the first weekend of its 42nd campaign – which started Friday, Nov. 28.
Specifically, 2,181 volunteers carried out 1,848 rides in about 40 sectors of Quebec, according to Nez Rouge on Monday morning.
The non-profit organization anticipates that the coming weekends, Dec. 5 to 6 and 12 to 13, will also be very busy due to holiday office parties.
Last year, throughout the entire campaign, nearly 20,000 volunteers ensured a safe return home for more than 20,000 partygoers. The goal is similar this year.
In addition to calling to request a ride home, it’s now possible to do so via the Opération Nez Rouge app.
The service remains free, but donations are welcome. And it’s always possible to become a volunteer.
