Are you interested in giving a Senior Citizen or Veteran a ride to get his or her medical appointment or grocery shopping? Can you spare a three hours every other week? You will be able to make your own schedule. If so, this volunteer opportunity is perfect for you!
Our mission is to provide free door-through-door transportation to seniors and veterans who need escorted rides with compassionate volunteer drivers in Contra Costa County. Our goal is to give seniors and veterans the ability and dignity to age in place with transportation and referral resources.
