We need drivers in all towns in New Haven County who have time available during the week to help connect seniors to their medical care. Volunteers provide "door through door," caring service for elders who are visiting their medical care providers. After training, volunteers sign up online to choose from a menu of available rides. You drive where, when and how you want! All of our clients are ambulatory, although some might need a bit of extra help with stairs or curbs. Most important, our volunteers provide a friendly face and a cheerful spirit to help someone out, through an occasion that is often challenging. Our clients are interesting, lively people who deeply appreciate the helping hand provided by IVCG.
