With cut-backs in services, transportation for seniors is a critical and immediate need. Neighbors Who Care is looking for volunteer drivers who are available an hour or two a month to provide a ride to an older adult in the Waltham area. Not only will you be giving a someone a ride, you will also be helping to keep them active, social, and healthy!
Rides are provided for seniors who have no other options available for transportation to medical appointments or other vital life-giving activities. Volunteers can serve once or twice a month on a day that is flexible in their schedule. Transportation will only be to surrounding Waltham cities. Mileage will be reimbursed through Neighbors Who Care.

Mission Statement
Our Mission Statement: Neighbors Who Care is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to alleviate social isolation and provide companionship to older adults in the greater Waltham communities at no charge to our clients..
Description
NWC has been pairing volunteers with older adults since 2003. Many of our clients find they have outlived family, friends and neighbors and have little support or socialization in their lives. Our compassionate volunteers become trysting friends to our clients.
As NWC does that at no charge to the clients, we are continually seeking ways to fund raise. The Neighbors Who Care Thrift Shop at 709 Main Street in Waltham is one way that NWC raises money along with grants and private donations. www.neighborswhocare.net
