Close your eyes. Imagine how you would shop for groceries or run errands if you lost your vision. You can help people who are blind or visually impaired maintain their independence. Become a Volunteer Shopper! As a Volunteer Shopper, you will provide a client transportation to grocery or other stores and help select items.
This is an easy way to make a big difference. Scheduling is flexible. Mileage reimbursement is available. We work to find a client in your area and you can volunteer with a friend or family member. The time commitment is approximately 2-4 hours per month.
As a perk to our volunteers, we reimburse our volunteers a set amount per mile that you drive with our clients! Inquire for more details.
Volunteers must be over the age of 18 or accompanied by someone over the age of 18 and meet our insurance guidelines. Orientation, training, and on-going support are provided.
