Call for Volunteers

Can you spare a little time to make a difference in the life of an older adult? RideConnect is currently seeking volunteers who are willing to provide occasional rides to older adults, age 60+, who live in Westchester County but are no longer driving. These rides enable our clients to remain active in their communities and to continue to lead fulfilling lives. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer driver, please contact Marietta C. Manoni at (914) 242-7433. We are happy to work with your schedule. Hours are flexible.

Please consider giving the gift of mobility and independence.
