    Description

    Volunteer Driver – Bring Independence and Connection to Local Seniors

    Make a meaningful difference—one ride at a time.

    Every day, older adults in our community miss medical appointments, social gatherings, and grocery trips simply because they can no longer drive. As a Volunteer with Community Partners in Caring, you’ll do more than give rides—you’ll restore independence, dignity, and connection for seniors who feel isolated.

    Why Your Help Matters

    The number of seniors who need transportation support is growing rapidly. Your kindness behind the wheel can help them stay healthy, connected, and engaged without feeling like a burden on family or friends.

    What You’ll Do

    • Provide safe, reliable rides to seniors for medical appointments, shopping, or social outings
    • Offer a friendly face and a listening ear—your presence can brighten someone’s day
    • Choose rides that fit your schedule—volunteering is flexible and easy to fit into your life

    Benefits of Volunteering

    • Experience the joy of knowing you’ve directly improved someone’s quality of life
    • Build meaningful connections with seniors and fellow volunteers
    • Enjoy the flexibility to serve when it works for you
    • Make a tangible, local impact—right in your own community

    Who We’re Looking For

    • Friendly, dependable individuals with a vehicle, a valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and a safe driving record
    • Compassionate people who want to give back in a personal and rewarding way
