Mobility Matters
This is a neighbors driving neighbors ride program for Seniors and Veterans with disabilities in Contra Costa County. We are a nonprofit and do not charge our client for the rides. Most rides take about 3 hours from start to finish. Our clients have might have a walker or a cane, but no wheelchairs. This would entail picking a client up at their door, getting them into the car, driving them to their destination (mostly medical appointments, or grocery shopping), getting them into the waiting room of their medical appointment, waiting for them to be done, driving them back to their dwelling, and walking them back up to their door. Most of our volunteers take 1 ride every week but some do more and some do less. You would be able to make your own schedule.
