| Help Now | The number of elderly in communities is growing rapidly, Most will need help witI am trying to find at least 3 volunteers that could provide rides to folks needing to get to doctor appointments. It would be helpful if you could commit to doing a couple of rides over the next 3 months. Many of our volunteers agree to receive calls from us on a schedule that is convenient for them. We generally know 3 days or more about the rides needed. In addition to the joy of helping others in your community, we provide a reimbursement of $.56 per mile to cover your expenses. While that reimbursement is a break-even proposition over time, it is a pleasant way to create some cash flow between paychecks. Most of the folks who need rides are elderly, disabled or financially challenged. We are needing drivers throughout the communities in your areaSubmitted by: Aging Services for Communities | Yes | N/A | Completed |
