Do you like to drive? Do you find helping others to be rewarding?
Hundreds of seniors in King County feel stranded in their own homes and would love your help getting to the grocery store, the pharmacy, the bank, etc.
Relieve both their isolation and their worries by signing up to be a driver with Volunteer Services.

At Volunteer Services you can easily fit helping your neighbor into your busy schedule. You let us know when, where and how you want to help and we'll have a senior you can be matched with that will be the perfect fit. A world of difference can be fit into a little time!

Volunteer Services assists low-income older adults and persons living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair and yard care.

Time and location are very flexible; you can volunteer in your own neighborhood on days that work for you, at times and frequency that fit your schedule. You are provided with an orientation and ongoing staff support.
