WPV CARES needs volunteer drivers! We at WPV CARES help older adults remain active and independent in the comfort and security of their own homes and neighborhoods for as long as possible. You as a volunteer will pick up Friday delivery care packages and drive to assigned seniors every Friday. *Must be available between 11 am - 1 pm to participate.
Clients and volunteers will be expected to follow public health guidelines and wear masks while interacting in and out of the vehicle. Volunteer as much or as little as your schedule permits, it's helpful to them and rewarding for you! Mileage reimbursement for transporting an older adult is available too! Discover the joy of working with our senior community by becoming a volunteer driver.

Our services and programs promote healthy and engaged living to improve the well-being of those we serve, and by extension, enhance and improve our community.
Description
Voted Best Place to Volunteer by the local Hometown News!
Westside Pacific Villages (WPV) is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, 501(c)(3) membership organization helping older adults with routine tasks to enhance their independence and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. Services provided include transportation, friendly visits, social events, walking buddies, computer assistance, and help with light chores or gardening.
WPV is part of a nationwide movement of over 300 local Villages. The Villages are not physical locations, but organized networks of local volunteers, staff and community partners that help members stay engaged in their neighborhoods by providing a wide array of services and programs.
We provide services to residents of Westchester, Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Culver City, Ladera Heights, El Segundo, Mar Vista, and adjacent communities.
Whether you are employed, retired, or a student, just 30 minutes a week can make a big difference in the life of a senior in your community
