Drivers must be 18-years old, have an insured vehicle in good working condition and be able to pass a background check. After a short orientation, you will be scheduled to give rides to seniors to essential services such as dialysis, doctor's appointments and grocery shopping. A few hours can make a huge difference in the life of a senior! Contact Volunteer Coordinator Carolyn Wetzel at 827-7780 or by email.
