ORGANIZATION: Wilshire Community Services

Good Neighbor Program-current

Do you enjoy driving, meeting new people, and making a difference in your community? If so, please consider joining the Good Neighbor volunteer team and help older adults in your community by providing rides for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and pharmacy trips. Our volunteer drivers have provided over 1,100 rides for seniors this year alone but there are still many who are unable to get food, prescriptions, or the medical attention they need. We need your help in supporting the health and well-being of the older adults in our own community.

For more information please contact Kristen Grasso kgrasso@wilshirehcs.org
