Transportation Help Needed!

Save to Favorites

Are you looking for a simple way to help someone in our community that is flexible and fits your schedule?

Becoming a volunteer driver is an opportunity that really makes a difference in the quality of someone's life. Volunteers help seniors and those with disabilities stay mobile with ride assistance to and from medical appointments, grocery stores, community centers, banks, hair salons, and more!

Transportation is an essential need among older adults in our community, and it is the most requested service offered through Family Service Rochester's Aging Services programming. Many seniors are no longer driving but still have doctor appointments to get to and errands to run. You can assist these individuals by volunteering!

As a volunteer driver, you assign yourself to requested trips that fit well with your schedule and transport the consumer in your own vehicle.

To qualify to be a transportation volunteer, you must meet or have the following requirements:

• At least 18 years of age or older
• Valid driver's license
• Reliable vehicle
• Current vehicle insurance

If you would like more information about volunteering with Family Service Rochester, please reach out to a member of our Aging Services Team at 507-287-2010 or volunteers@familyservicerochester.org or sign up to volunteer via the Volunteer Portal.

Thank you for considering this volunteer opportunity!

Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN), a Family Service Rochester program, exists to help older adults remain living independently in their homes. We match volunteers with older adults in their neighborhood to provide a variety of services including transportation, light housekeeping, and seasonal yard work.
