Senior Servies’ Volunteer Transportation Program urgently needs to recruit volunteer drivers living on the Eastside of King County to transport frail elderly to medical appointments.

Volunteers can choose the weekdays, times and areas in which they would like to drive. The program offers supplemental liability insurance and mileage reimbursement.The Volunteer Transportation program is for seniors who cannot use other transportation options, and specifically for those who need an escort to their appointments.

Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles and wait with seniors at their appointments before driving them home, offering a helping hand, friendly conversation and moral support. There is no charge for those who use the service.

The Senior Services program is a non-profit agency dedicated to supporting the emotional, social and physical well-being of King County seniors.
