Volunteer Drivers Needed to Help Senior Citizens

Submitted by the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program

Volunteer drivers are desperately needed to help the growing number of senior citizens in the Fox Valley area access healthcare.

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Kane, Kendall and McHenry Counties is seeking willing volunteers ages 55 and older to help their peers access doctor’s offices, healthcare services, banking and grocery needs. RSVP is the premier volunteer program for older adults.

As the most diversified program of the National Senior Corps, RSVP volunteers make important contributions to their communities in a variety of ways, but always seeking to offer a healthy future to others.

Interested volunteers are being sought to help isolated seniors in need. RSVP is looking for volunteers who are flexible, generous with their time, good drivers, persons who care about people and are empathetic to the needs of others. Are you the person RSVP is looking for?

This is an opportunity to make a difference in the life of another human being, to help many different people, to volunteer but still manage your own time, to have surprise assignments, and as many assignments as you would like. This opportunity to help gives the volunteer a chance to get to know the many healthcare facilities in the community, and to belong to the premier national senior volunteer organization.

Do you have what RSVP is looking for? Do you want to help others? Do you have a good driving record, and insurance? RSVP can help you get started helping others. Contact Barb Nadeau, Volunteer Coordinator at Senior Services Associates, at 630-553-5777 to get started on a new adventure with RSVP.
