VolunteerMatch

Area seniors need transportation to essential medical appointments. Volunteers (25 and older) provide weekday transportation for homebound seniors (area served is Redwood City to Los Altos). The volunteer chooses the day(s) and area(s) to serve.

Must make ongoing commitment for 2 hours weekly or bimonthly. Mileage reimbursement.

Drivers are needed during the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We do not need drivers in the evenings or on weekends.

If you are available only on the weekends, please consider our other opportunity "Volunteer for Help at Home."

From a care recipient:

"Your assistance in providing transportation made such a big difference in both my both pysical well-being and my mental attitude to face an otherwise unpleasant situation. A special thank you to your drivers for keeping my spirits up."

Enjoy older people and be comfortable with those who may need extra assistance. Be reliable, punctual and submit hours and mileage records, as required. Maintain client confidentiality. Provide proof of valid driver's license and auto insurance.
