I have been a volunteer driver for the Foundation for Senior Care for more than 10 years now. I look forward to the days I drive – I get to chat with folks I’ve driven before, I meet new people with such interesting stories, and I always feel good knowing that I am really helping a senior in their day-to-day life.
