Cus and Ethel
Cus and Ethel appreciate the ride to our Senior Day Out program, as well as rides to their doctor appointments.

Volunteer drivers needed to help senior neighbors who are moblie and independent, but just don't drive anymore. Volunteers provide rides to the doctor, grocery store, errands, etc. One drive a month will help a senior neighbor live independently in their own home. Drivers needed in Northwest Austin, Cedar Park and Leander. Volunteers choose rides from an easy online scheduling system to fit their own schedule; over 700 rides per month to choose from!
