Supportive Services
-
Transportation
-
Neighbors’ transportation program provides rides to persons who have no other readily available way of keeping medical or dental appointments, counseling appointments or similar necessary appointments. Volunteer drivers, using their own vehicles, pick up passengers at their homes, take them to their appointments, wait for them to finish their appointment, and then take them home again. In 2008, Neighbors volunteers provided 2,542 rides for a total of 29,904 miles. More people could have been accommodated if additional drivers were available.

 Tele-Care
-
Provides a daily reassurance call to people living alone.
Through the Tele-Care program daily reassurance calls are
provided to people living alone. These calls are made 365 days a
year. If the Tele-Care member does not answer, the volunteer
caller has an assigned neighbor, relative or friend check on the
person. In 2008 9,600 daily reassurance calls were made;
volunteers recorded a total of 1,050 hours, an increase of more
than 15% over 2007.

-
Community Service
-
A wide variety of volunteer duties, from clerical tasks to
helping with holiday distribution, were completed by students
needing service learning hours for school and people with
community service requirements. In 2008, 59 people completed 820
hours of community service.
