Spotlight on special volunteer coordinator of transportation
Did you know that Kare Bears provides temporary medical transportation for our residents who need rides to medical or therapy appointments? Linda Glazer, the second vice president of Kare Bears, is a special volunteer who coordinates this program.
Linda reported that in the last fiscal year 44 Kare Bears driver volunteers have driven 228 residents to 504 appointments for a total of 17,393.3 miles. Our volunteers give of their time freely to these residents. Many of them develop friendships with those they drive.
If you are in need of a ride to a medical or therapy appointment, or if you would like to be a driver volunteer, please call the Kare Bears House for more details. The number is 536-1200.
Thank you, Linda, and your driver volunteers for your dedication to neighbors helping neighbors!
