A Helping Hand
The Volunteer Companion Driver:
Without transportation older adults and those with disabilities lose their independence and are denied access to vital services, such as getting to and from medical appointments and the grocery store.
A Helping Hand is seeking volunteer companions who are interested in providing transportation services. Examples:
- Driving and/or accompanying to scheduled appointments
- Beauty salon and barber shop appointments
- Acting as a Personal Shopper
- Escort for grocery shopping or drug store medication pick-up
- Driving to and from social engagements
Availability during weekday business hours is very helpful.
