Volunteer Help Needed

Help at Your Door

Volunteer Driver for Seniors – East Metro training session options on: Weds, Jan 8 1 p.m.,  Tues, Jan 28 10 a.m. and Weds, Feb 26 10:30 a.m.  All trainings are held at the Sun Ray library in St Paul.

Empty passenger seat? Share it with a senior. Help At Your Door, a nonprofit serving seniors, is in need of volunteer drivers throughout the Twin Cities, but especially in St Paul!

Attend one of these trainings to learn how you can help provide the keys to independence by transporting seniors to appointments or errands using your car. Most drivers give just a couple of rides each month, weekday mornings or afternoons only, on a schedule of their choosing.

We offer flexible scheduling, social interaction with a welcoming volunteer community, and most of all, hands-on activities that help the aging population and individuals with disabilities maintain their independence and continue living in their homes.

Email volunteer@helpatyourdoor.org or call 651-642-1892 to register or to learn more.
