Drivers are needed to give free rides for seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores and pharmacies. Clients reside in McLean, Arlington, or Falls Church. For rides, you pick the days, times and places convenient for you. There is NO MINIMUM driving requirement. Not only do you help seniors in need, but also you get to meet wonderful folks, often with interesting backgrounds and stories to tell. [note: This is an ongoing opportunity; no expiration date for driver need. Any expiration date only relates to posting duration.]
Testimonials:
- "What a wonderful service you all provide and it meant so much to us. After Mom's last accident when she decided to give up driving, it was a relief to her to find a reliable, compassionate and free service. And what a relief to me as well since I live out of town and can't always be there to drive her. You are a blessing to the community. God bless you and keep up the good work."---daugter of a client.
- "Thanks so much to Robyn and her charming son for helping me over the two-day doctor's care for my cataract suegery. I am inspired. I am so appreciative of what the Shepherd's Center has done for me." -- former client.

Mission Statement
The Shepherd’s Center of McLean-Arlington-Falls Church (SCMAFC) was founded in 2006 to address the needs of older adults aging in place, focused primarily on providing much needed transportation and simple home maintenance. We assist our aging community members in maintaining independent and safe lifestyles in their own homes, by providing free rides to medical and therapy appointments, and to grocery stores. As an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to serving seniors in need in Northern Virginia.
Description
