    Description

    KIRKLAND, Give Rides to Change Lives! Help a Senior Near You!

    Give Rides to Impact Lives!

    Volunteer drivers for Sound Generations' Volunteer Transportation Services use their own vehicle (mileage reimbursement provided) to help adults 60 years and older maintain their independence. Volunteers take riders to and from medically necessary appointments. Riders are enormously grateful for improved access to medical care, meaningful interactions with caring volunteers, and the experience of increased peace of mind.

    This opportunity is extremely FLEXIBLE: volunteers choose the days, times, frequency, and areas in which they want to drive. Many volunteer drivers choose a couple of rides a week, though some give more rides and some less. Each week can be different if that's what works for you.

    Help make a huge difference in the lives of seniors near you by becoming a volunteer driver.
