Maple Valley: Drive Seniors to the Grocery Store

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Services

Many Seniors in King County no longer drive and could really benefit from transportation to the grocery store. Be a helpful neighbor by being a volunteer driver and shopper! Take seniors and adults with disabilities to the grocery store, help them fill up their carts with the grocery items on their lists, and transport the groceries back home with the client. This will be a huge help for clients, especially clients who usually use public transportation and have to carry their groceries home. Volunteer as little or as much as your schedule allows. Help really make a difference in a person's life. Enjoy the feeling of knowing someone will have food or their medications because of you.

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.
