About Drivers Needed: Rides 4 Veterans and Seniors Volunteers Needed!

Contra Costa County, CA

MOBILITY = INDEPENDENCE! Are you interested in giving a Veteran a ride to his or her medical appointment or grocery shopping? If so, this volunteer opportunity is perfect for you! We launched a new program this year called Rides 4 Veterans and the mission is to have Veterans giving other Veterans rides to their medical appointments and grocery shopping, free of charge.

We have also been operating an award winning Rides for Seniors Program for the past 11 years. If you are interested in giving a ride to an older adult in need of transportation to his or her medical appointments or grocery shopping, please also respond to this poster!

Our volunteers give rides to individuals who cannot use other forms of transportation due to disabilities. We do not transport wheelchairs. Mobility Matters is a nonprofit organization based in Lafayette, CA!
