Preserve a Senior's independence! DRIVERS NEEDED!

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Looking for drivers to serve the seniors of St. Clair County Illinois. We have been forced to start a waiting list due to the high demand of people needing transports. We transport people 60 and older to grocery stores, banks, post offices, and most importantly, doctor's visits. We drive them as far as Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, all for no fee to the senior. It is a very important program, and we have many amazing volunteers. However, the demand for rides has surpassed our supply of available drivers. Out of all the opportunities to volunteer, why should you choose our organization? We make volunteering easy. You get to decide when, where and how far you will transport our clients. Through our on-line database, you are able to see the week's schedule and decided which ones work for your schedule. We have seniors scattered throughout the county, from Mascoutah and Freeburg to Belleville and East St. Louis; all in need of basic transportation. Keep in mind that you will dictate how often you perform transports as well. Furthermore, we pay 65 cents per mile reimbursement, to help with Gas costs.

Telephone Reassurance Calls (Isolation Mitigation)

Flexible Schedule | East Saint Louis, IL 62203

This volunteer initiative is an opportunity for participants to assist in maintaining the psychological health of the elderly in our community. As people age, they lose friends, they travel less, and they lose face time with their families. In order to keep these people from becoming more isolated, we recruit volunteers that are willing to call these people on a regular basis. Through these check-ins, we hope to spark new relationships that will sustain an aging population that is often desperate for companionship. In doing so, we hope to enrich the lives of these people, while warding off depression. Moreover, we hope that these relationships are mutually beneficial for the volunteers we bring on!

They really go above and beyond to help support the seniors in the area as well as surrounding cities in St. Clair County area. They even have a small 1 hour bible study session on Mondays. It is such a pleasure to volunteer for this agency.
