How about making new friends and a meaningful difference in your community?
We are currently looking for some very special volunteers to drive for our Provide-A-Ride (PAR) program!
As a PAR volunteer, you transport older adults to and from out-of-county medical appointments in your vehicle. You can take appointments as you you are able, and mileage reimbursement may be available. To volunteer, you must be 21 years old, a licensed and insured driver, and agree to undergo background checks. You will be asked to accompany clients to cities and communities from one to two hours from home.
If you are looking for a rewarding volunteer experience, ask at the center or call 1-800-748-7826, ext. 228. ... See MoreSee Less

Older adults have a lot of strength and wisdom, but they can also be vulnerable as they start to experience changes in their bodies and minds. Aging can be scary. Many seniors, like all of us, are reluctant to ask for help when they need it. We try to spread the message that asking for help doesn’t make you weak, it makes you strong.
It’s no different here at Care Connection. We can’t provide our meals and services without help from our local community and others who care about seniors’ health and wellbeing.
