Volunteer Drivers Needed for Elderly

Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services (SCES) is seeking caring, dependable individuals who would like to volunteer to drive elders to medical appointments and other destinations. Volunteer drivers receive a stipend of $10 per trip ($15 for a trip that lasts 4 hours or more).

Volunteer drivers assist elders who can no longer drive, or are too frail for public transportation. Often these elders have no family or friends to assist them. If you are interested in helping elders remain safe and independent in the community, and you have your own car, this may be a good opportunity for you.

For further information or to schedule an interview, please call 617-628-2601 ext. 3153. Additional information available at www.eldercare.org.
