Volunteers needed to partner with senior clients to help then get to and from medical appointments/centers/temples. This program aims to offer assistance and support to our senior clients as well as to provide an important social network.
It is often a challenge for seniors to travel to and from appointments, and they are often forced to stay home unable to leave for days at a time. With your help the client can get where they need or wouldlike to get to safely and at an appropriate time while also decreasing the feeling of lonliness.
