Caring Hands' occasional ride volunteers offer rides to frail or isolated seniors in the community who need to go to the doctor, the grocery store, or have help with another crucial errand. Volunteers drive as often or as infrequently as they wish. Daytimes during the week are best, and even an hour a week offered to a Contra Costa senior who can't drive is very helpful! There is no minimum time commitment.

About Caring Hands Volunteer Caregivers Program
Location:
2855 Mitchell Drive, Suite 100, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, US
Mission Statement
Caring Hands helps create one-on-one matches between caring volunteers and seniors over 60 in need, enabling them to stay in their own homes and remain independent as long as safely possible by providing free non-medical in-home assistance, friendship, and transportation.
Description
Caring Hands Volunteer Caregivers Program started in 1998 as a collaboration between John Muir Health, social service agencies, congregations of various religious faiths and the community-at-large. Seniors in Central, South or East Contra Costa County who may otherwise feel lonely and isolated receive support and companionship from caring volunteers, enriching the lives of both. Services are provided regardless of income, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
Training and supervision for every volunteer is provided after acceptance into the program, and seniors and volunteers receive ongoing support and case management from Licensed Clinical Social Workers.
