Many older adults face transportation barriers such as anxiety with riding public transportation or they are not able to drive themselves to their doctor appointments to receive their COVID vaccines and life-sustaining treatments such as chemo and dialysis. Please help us by removing the barriers by providing transportation. You can sign up for 1 ride a month. It'll make a world of difference for our seniors.
A little background on Volunteer Services:
Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair, and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.
Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check and attend an orientation.
