Consider becoming a volunteer driver with Sound Generations to help local seniors get to their life-sustaining medical appointments.

Volunteering to drive older adults to their medical appointments is a great way to make a tangible and direct impact in someone’s life while providing you with a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Surveys show that one of the top concerns of older adults is access to safe and reliable transportation. Without the generous efforts of volunteers, many home-bound seniors would have little to no way of getting to their important appointments. Family members live far away or can’t afford to miss work, taxis come with prohibitive costs, and bus service is limited or non-existent.

Lack of transportation is a huge barrier to accessing medical care for many older adults.

Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation program helps hundreds of older adults get to their critically important and life sustaining medical appointments. To meet the ever growing need, more volunteers are desperately needed in communities throughout the region to ensure every senior has access to health care. Whether you have time to drive a senior every day, or just once a month, the program staff will work to accommodate your schedule and preferences.
