We serve seniors who no longer drive but still like to pick out their own groceries. We're seeking a few good drivers who could take individual seniors shopping on the East side. Our seniors enjoy getting out to Cub, Target, WalMart or other places. If you like/need to shop at these stores and would be willing to pick them up and accompany then to the store and help bring their packages back to home or apartment, this could be your opportunity to help this people get out in the community and enjoy a better quality of life. Time involved could be flexible; just knowing they could look forward to this a couple times or even once a month would make a difference. Thanks!

Mission Statement
We provide professional and volunteer services that promote the ability of East Side seniors to remain independent in their homes while delaying or avoiding the need for them to move to long-term care.
Description
Our staff of two and a group of dedicated volunteers promote the health and well-being of seniors in the District 1 area of St Paul's East side. We meet seniors in their homes and determine what barriers they might face to being able to live independently and safefly. Through addressing their needs for assistance with chores, transportation, access to resources, and service coordination, we are able to fill in the gaps and provide individualized assistance that help them stay healthy and continue to live on their own in their home. Because we use a neighbors helping neighbors model, we strengthen ties throughout the community we serve.
