Our vision is to insure that every senior in our communities has access to essential services. We provide free transportation and support services that enhances independence and quality of life for all of our senior clients.
ACC students can join in on our cause in several different ways. Our main objective is to be able to provide free transportation to our clients so they can go to doctor appointments, go to the grocery store or run other errands. Volunteer drivers help us do this.
We are very glad Covid-19 has slowed! While our Senior Buddy program is still available, our biggest need is for volunteer drivers to take seniors to their appointments. Volunteer drivers are able to choose when, where, and how often to drive. We do not expect volunteer drivers to commit to driving each week. Volunteer when you can and how often you want or your schedule allows. Contact us if you have any questions about volunteering in any capacity!
