Description

Drive a DeKalb senior to the doctor - help him or her stay healthy and independent!

I CARE is a nonprofit serving DeKalb County seniors who, for financial and medical reasons, have no other means of transportation to medical appointments. The riders value both the access to health care and the caring companionship provided by the volunteers, many of whom are recent retirees. For volunteers, I CARE creates an opportunity to share themselves through not only their time and service, but also through reaching out and sharing themselves with others. Some volunteers drive once a week or more, others once a month- all are needed and appreciated. State law protects the volunteers from liability, and I CARE also carries excess auto insurance.
