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.
