Volunteers can assist enrolled members by providing transportation to the grocery store and assisting the enrolled member with shopping. This service helps ensure access to nutritious food for those who are no longer able to shop independently. Members can receive up to two grocery shopping transportations a month.

Transportation to Medical Appointments

Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments, helping enrolled members access the healthcare they need. Members can receive up to two medical transportations a week, and is limited to volunteer availability.

Friendly Visits

Social connection is an important part of healthy aging. Volunteers provide friendly visits or regular phone calls to offer companionship and help reduce social isolation for enrolled members. These visits and calls are social in nature and are intended to build meaningful connections. They are not wellness checks, in-home care, or assistance with household tasks or personal care.
