We are looking for volunteers to help with the N2N Rides program. Are you interested in driving your community neighbors who can’t drive themselves? Or maybe you’d rather volunteer from your home.
We are looking for phone coordinators to monitor our phone message system, return calls to clients and enter requests into our simple software to find available drivers. Interested in either of these volunteer options? Email us: agefriendlybethel@gmail.com.
