Are you interested in helping the seniors in Orleans County? Do you have some extra time on your hands? We have the perfect opportunity for you!

Volunteers begin their shift at 10:45 am. The current routes take 1 to 2.5 hours to complete. You can volunteer Monday through Friday, once a week, or monthly—it’s your choice. Perhaps you would like to team up with your spouse or a friend and drive a route together!

Volunteers must have their own vehicle, a valid NYS Drivers License, and be able to lift up to 20 lbs. Volunteer drivers will receive a mileage reimbursement that changes in conjunction with fluctuating gas prices.
