Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation program offers a solution for local seniors who are unable to get to their medical appointments: caring, friendly, helpful volunteers who pick them up at their homes, drive them to their doctors, and take them back afterward.

However, many older adults with limited transportation options are unable to get rides because there are simply not enough volunteer drivers to serve all those in need.

You can help. If you have the “drive” to serve others, own your own vehicle, and have some daytime availability, this flexible volunteer opportunity is for you.
