Many older adults who no longer drive face challenges getting to medical appointments or running essential errands like grocery shopping. We seek individuals who enjoy driving and, more importantly, helping others stay connected and independent.

Our mission at Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors is to empower seniors to live healthy, independent, and socially engaged lives. Reliable transportation for medical appointments and grocery shopping is vital to making this possible.

As a Volunteer Driver, you will help seniors by providing rides to medical appointments and assisting with grocery pickup and delivery. Most trips are within 10 miles of the 55406/55404 area.

If you are 19 or older, have a good driving record, and own a safe, well-maintained vehicle, we encourage you to join us in supporting our local seniors. A background check and orientation will be provided for all new volunteers.
