Our Services...
Medical Transportation
(Urgently need additional volunteers for this service).
Drivers take older adults no longer able to drive to medical and therapy appointments. To request a drive, call our office at least three business days and no more than three weeks prior to your appointment. We will strive to find a driver for you. Provide your, and your appointment's, name, address, ZIP, and phone number; and the date and time of the appointment to the SCFB office.
Friendly Caller/Visitor Program
Our caring, dependable, adult volunteers call or visit 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.
