    Description

    Volunteer Driver

    Be a Canopy Volunteer Driver!

    Volunteering with Canopy is flexible and based on your schedule and availability. It's a perfect opportunity to volunteer when you want without pressure. Canopy allows flexibility to volunteer if you are a snowbird, in school, travel or have other life commitments.

    Our services include vital transportation to medical and other places necessary to age in place gracefully. Interactions with our volunteers – who often become friends – also provide a crucial social touch. The other component of our services includes the social programming necessary to stave off the social isolation that often affects an older population and leads to poor health outcomes.

    Call Wendy Fredricks @716-235-8133 or email me at wendy@canopyofneighbors.org to chat about the possibilities.
