The Ride program is the first and core program offered by Neighbor to Neighbor. We match local volunteer drivers with older adults and/or disabled individuals who need a ride. Whether it’s a ride to the doctor or barber shop, to pick up prescriptions or groceries, our volunteers are here to help sure that our neighbors not only have access to have their critical health needs met, but also to have their social and emotional needs met as well.
