    Description

    Drive Seniors to their Doctor Appointments

    Do you have extra time on your hands mid-week? Are you looking to help older adults in San Francisco simply by giving them a ride to a doctor's appointment? Volunteer with NEXT Village to get to know a neighbor and help older SF residents age in place!

    Volunteering is ad hoc; you can pick and choose what you'd like to help with. We are especially in need of volunteers who can drive members to mid-day appointments on weekdays!

    Other transportation requests may be rides to and from:

    • The grocery store
    • The laundromat
    • Museums, parks, and other NEXT Village SF events

    These drives are all within San Francisco city limits, but our members cannot make the trip by public transportation and/ or don’t own a car. If you enjoy driving and want to make a difference in the lives of seniors, please consider volunteering with NEXT!
