Volunteer drivers use their personal vehicles to provide our clients with free, accompanied, roundtrip, rides to medical appointments and grocery stores. Volunteers fit drives into their schedule, not the other way around.
Who are TSCOR’s clients? They are seniors 60 and older; they are mobile and may have canes or walkers, but don’t use wheelchairs; they are wonderful people who live independently, but for various reasons no longer drive.
How does volunteer driving work? Use our online scheduling system and choose who, when, where and how often to drive. The drivers use their own vehicles to pick up the client from their home, drive them to their appointment, stay nearby until they’re finished, and then drive them home again. Rides are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am.
Will I enjoy driving? Yes! Driving is enjoyable for drivers and clients – you’re guaranteed to learn something new about your passenger and friendships are often forged. Volunteers say they get more out of driving than the clients do, and clients tell us what a wonderful difference drivers make in their lives.
