Volunteer: AUBURN, Give rides to change lives, drive a senior in need!

Seniors need your help! Getting to the doctor’s office is a daunting task for many local seniors. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving; limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus; taxis come with prohibitive costs; and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. So who do they turn to? Fortunately, volunteer drivers can fill the gap.

Volunteer Transportation is a program of Sound Generations, a non-profit organization working to help seniors remain safely independent and connected to their communities. Every week, there are a growing number of older adults in need of transportation but not enough volunteers to do it all.  It is heartbreaking to know that for many, the only barrier to accessing medical care is just a ride.

Volunteer: Take Your Compassion to the Road! Drive Seniors In Need

Volunteers needed to drive older adults to their medical appointments

One of the biggest barriers seniors face in accessing medical care is lack of transportation. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving, limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus, taxis come with prohibitive costs, and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. Yet, since 1975, Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation has served as a trustworthy resource for older adults throughout King County. With its force of kind and reliable volunteers, the program provides the missing link between seniors and their necessary medical care.

But the value of Volunteer Transportation extends far beyond the rides themselves. A volunteer driver serves as a friendly escort-- a companion-- someone to talk to along the way. Volunteers turn previously stressful ordeals into pleasant, meaningful experiences.


More volunteer drivers are needed throughout King County! The program is currently unable to serve all seniors in need of transportation.

You can help more seniors get “on the road” to improved health and peace of mind! If you have a reliable vehicle, a clean driving record, and some weekday availability, this is the role for you!  

 

NOTE: Although this post says the opportunity is based in Seattle, volunteers are needed in communities throughout King County.

Give Rides to Change Lives!

Volunteer drivers are desperately needed for Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation program. Using your own vehicle, you would help older adults maintain their independence by taking them to much needed medical appointments. Clients greatly appreciate their improved access to medical care, meaningful interactions with caring volunteers, and increased peace of mind. Unfortunately, the program does not have enough volunteers to meet the fast-growing demand for transportation from West Seattle seniors. This means we must turn away several seniors every week. Help us close the gap by applying to volunteer today!

This FLEXIBLE volunteer opportunity allows you to provide a personalized touch in driving seniors "door to door" from their home to appointments.

If you have the "drive" to help others, a clean driving record, and some daytime availability, click the "respond" button and we'll get in touch. Help seniors get "on the road" to fuller, healthier, happier lives!
