This year, ReliaRide Transport Services proudly participated in the 4th of July Parade in Stevens Point—a celebration filled with patriotism, community spirit, and meaningful connection.
Our team showed up in full force—drivers, dispatchers, family members, and even one of our beloved clients came together to represent the heart of who we are. Dressed in matching black shirts that read "Driven by Care. Powered by Freedom," our presence wasn’t just about showing up—it was about showing what we stand for.
A Float Full of Love
Our float was decked out in festive red, white, and blue, complete with a towering inflatable Statue of Liberty that proudly waved above us. One of the biggest highlights was the van packed to the brim with handmade crocheted stuffed animals—a unique and thoughtful gift that brought big smiles to kids all along the route.
And while our candies and freebies lasted much longer than last year, the demand was still incredible. As much as we wanted every child to receive a crocheted stuffed animal, there were simply more kids than there were toys. But the joy on their faces made every effort worth it.
Special thanks to our NEMT Manager, Tina, and her sister Nona, for tirelessly making all the crocheted animals by hand. Their hard work, creativity, and generosity were at the heart of our float’s success.
Honoring a Special Guest
We were especially honored to have one of our clients, a proud Air Force veteran, join us on the float. His presence was a touching reminder of the individuals we serve every day—and why compassionate, inclusive service is at the heart of everything we do.
Celebrating Community
Though they weren’t part of our crew, we loved seeing other groups in the parade add to the fun—like Clifford the Big Red Dog and a cheerful Uncle Sam-themed clown, who brought even more excitement to the streets.
The entire event was a beautiful display of unity, patriotism, and small-town pride—and we were proud to be part of it.
More Than Just a Ride
At ReliaRide, we’re more than a transport service. We are a team that cares, that shows up, and that gives back. Whether it’s making sure a client gets to their appointment safely or handing out handcrafted toys to a child waving from the sidewalk, we’re here to make a difference—one ride, one smile, and one heart at a time.
Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered us on. We’re already looking forward to next year—with even more heart, even more unity, and even more joy.
