Description

Aging Services strives to keep older adults independent and active for as long as possible by providing a wide variety of programs and resources.

Aging Services provides volunteer-based transportation services free of charge to older adults in our community, so that they are able to get to and from appointments and essential errands such as food banks and the pharmacy.  This is a perfect volunteer opportunity for helpful people who really want to make a difference in the lives of older adults living in our community! Volunteers give their time and are reimbursed mileage!

The Transportation Program runs Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM. Volunteers are notified a week in advance of potential driving opportunities, which the volunteer is able to accept or decline. We love working with your schedule and are very flexible!

Volunteers are fully trained and must be willing to complete background checks.  Aging Services is a certified Service Enterprise agencyjoin our efforts and learn more about how we support our community as a team!
