Description
Many seniors are missing doctor appointments simply because they can’t get a ride.
By offering just one trip a week — maybe to a medical appointment, the pharmacy, or even a grocery run on off‑weeks — you could make a meaningful difference. It’s a small act of kindness that strengthens our community and spreads care and compassion throughout our town. Step up. Be the reason someone gets the care they deserve. Our seniors who are legally blind are counting on us — and they can’t wait.
