Did you know...

That volunteers can become clients if the need arises?

“Life has a way of reversing our roles. I had been a volunteer driver at Community Caregivers when life gave me a bump in the road. I was diagnosed with cancer and needed rides to chemotherapy routinely, so I became a client.”

“Now I have learned, personally, what it means to have a dependable driver at my house at the appointed time. The short rides to the doctor included delightful conversations which helped me enter chemo appointments more relaxed.”

“To the Community Caregivers transportation coordinators and all the drivers, I say thank you! I’m hopeful that I will be back on the team as a driver in the near future.”

– Judith Lenihan, Volunteer and Client
