A Volunteer is needed to take a local lady and her guide dog to nearby clothing retail outlets so she can refresh her wardrobe (local area of Unionville/Plainville or the Mall). The dog can sit on the floor in the back seat while driving and will find a nice spot in the dressing room to curl up and observe the fashion show. Sign up today to make a difference in your life and that of a neighbor. With just an hour or two you can really make a difference by helping a neighbor who is legally blind to look and feel her best.
Requirements to be a great volunteer include:
· a desire to help others;
· a pleasant demeanor;
· a good reading/speaking voice;
· average reading skills;
· organizational or planning abilities;
· a good driving record;
· a clear criminal history;
· two references
· access to a car with proof of insurance;
· a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage.
