    Description

    Drive a senior with low vision and assist with grocery shopping in Seattle

    A senior woman in Seattle with low vision is seeking a reliable volunteer to drive her to Safeway (2201 E Madison St) every Friday morning starting August 1st. The trip takes about an hour and includes helping her find around 15 grocery items in-store. No need to assist with carrying, putting away the groceries, or parking. She can carry groceries to the apartment and put them away. She’s looking for a supportive volunteer driver comfortable assisting someone with visual impairment.

    Volunteer Services is a program of Catholic Community Services that assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can assist with transportation to medical appointments, grocery shopping, and personal errands. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.

    Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check, and attend an orientation.

    For more information about this opportunity or others, please select the "I Want to Volunteer/Help" button. An email will be sent to you with additional information regarding our program and the online application forms. For more information, call 206.328.5787 or email vc@ccsww.org.
