So far this holiday season, hundreds of Delta/Richmond area party-goers made the right choice and called on Operation Red Nose (ORN) for a safe ride home.

Starting on Nov. 25 until Jan. 1, ORN volunteers will be up late to make sure more people, including their vehicles, arrive home safe this holiday season.

This past weekend, ORN Delta-Richmond provided another 96 safe rides home, after serving 200 passengers across 2,500 kilometres during the first weekend.

ORN is available between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Dec. 9, 10, 16, 17 and 31.

Clients are advised to call 604-943-0460 to arrange a ride 30 to 45 minutes in advanced of their desired pick up time, and 60 minutes in advance after midnight.

ORN also launched a new mobile website this year. Smartphone users can simply type OperationRedeNose.com into their browser to get the phone number and dates for the ORN closest to them.

The service is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. All proceeds will benefit the Delta Sport Development Centre. To volunteer with Operation Red Nose visit www.operationrednosedelta.com or call Delta Gymnastics at 604-943-0460.
