MET
Help an older adult make it to their Doctor's appointment. You can make a difference.

Do you have one day a month, for two to four hours, to make a caring difference in the life of a senior? As a volunteer driver, you will use your own vehicle to transport an older adult who can no longer drive to a medical appointment, wait in the office, and bring them home. Our riders are fun, engaging, intelligent and independent.They will keep you entertained during the drive with their stories! Volunteers drive primarily to appointments inside I-285 in the Northeast Atlanta area. Volunteers must be able to pass a background check, attend a brief training session, and reserve one Tuesday or Wednesday morning per month for driving.
