The CareGivers - Caring Rides Volunteers

This program is The CareGivers' single most requested service. Volunteers provide assistance and transportation to physician, dentist, and therapy appointments among others. Beyond the actual transportation, our trained volunteers wait with the care-receivers during their appointments, offering friendship and support. The program allows individuals to practice preventive healthcare and overcome the cost of transportation or physical barriers that would make such visits prohibitive.  CareGiver volunteers also provide transportation for grocery needs and in addition, provide assistance with reading food labels, carrying grocery bags, and putting away groceries.
