Make a Difference by Volunteering for Neighbor Ride

Colleen Konstanzer, Community Outreach Coordinator for Neighbor Ride, would like to remind the community that “Back-to-School Time is a Great Time to Make a Difference.” As schedules once more return to normal, consider offering your services as a driver to help the county’s seniors, age 60 and over, maintain their independence.

Neighbor Ride offers safe, reliable, and friendly transportation to destinations like health care appointments, shopping trips, volunteer activities, religious services, and social gatherings. The good news is that area seniors increasingly rely on Neighbor Ride for their transportation needs, thus necessitating additional drivers.

Volunteers may choose schedules convenient to their daily routines, and many of these opportunities fall during school hours. Neighbor Ride also encourages parents to bring their younger children along for a rewarding intergenerational experience.
