Volunteer Opportunities

Give A Lift Volunteer Driver Program

Driving gives most of us the freedom to go anywhere, at anytime. Freedom to do the simple, but necessary things...like a stop at the pharmacy...a visit to the doctor...a trip to the grocery store.
But some older adults can't drive anymore. They gave up the keys. But they could use a lift. The need is great. Up to 25% of people age 75 or older do not drive.

If you have a couple of hours a week, or even a couple of hours a month, contact us.
