Our Services...


Medical Transportation (Urgently need additional volunteers for this service):
Drivers take older adults to medical and therapy appointments.  Call our office at least three days before your medical or therapy appointment and we will find a driver for you.  Provide your, and your appointment's, name, address, and phone number; and the date and time of the appointment.

Friendly Caller Program
Our caring, dependable, adult volunteers call once a week, at a regularly scheduled time, for an informal chat.  The focus of this service is to let shut-ins know that someone is thinking about them, provide companionship, and assist older adults in maintaining connections within their community.  If you are interested in utilizing this service or in volunteering, please contact the SCFB office.
