Herndon Village Network (HVN) is looking for caring volunteers to drive local senior citizens to doctor appointments, grocery stores, social engagements, and more!
<a href="https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/volunteer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Click here to volunteer!</a>
HVN provides senior members with free, unlimited access to day and evening transportation on weekdays and weekends. This more organized concept of neighbors helping neighbors encourages older residents to age in the Herndon community and allows them to maintain established routines and connections, which results in a higher quality of life.
If you are age 25 or older with an excellent driving record, you are eligible to serve as an HVN volunteer. Volunteers undergo vetting, and HVN pays for secondary car insurance. It&rsquo;s so easy and flexible, as you decide how often you would like to help and select from a number of ride requests via an automated system. Best of all, you&rsquo;ll be making a difference in the lives of local senior citizens!

This is not anti-development. It is anti-development at the cost of the community when a balance has not been found. The same proposal keeps being filed through different mechanisms instead of being updated to fit the rules.
The methodology is fully disclosed and cross-validates within 8% against an independent estimate by a leading Virginia land use attorney.
