Volunteer With Us

Are you interested in volunteering but don’t want to over commit? Once you sign up with us, you have 100% flexibility to drive when and who you prefer, with no minimums or commitment. Whether once a month or once a week, every ride helps.

You never know how crucial transportation is until you lose the ability to drive. This happens to older adults across our region every day, leaving them stressed and concerned. At the Shepherd’s Center of McLean-Arlington-Falls Church, our volunteer drivers help those who can no longer drive get to important health care appointments, shop for groceries, and assist with minor home repairs. Riders are picked up at their homes in the areas of McLean, Arlington, and Falls Church, and most destinations are within these same areas. You’ll receive an email a few times a week listing the available riders and destinations so you can choose what works for you.

Ask any of our riders – this free service represents far more than just a ride! Valuable conversations and interactions occur, friendships form, and worries are eased when our volunteer drivers step up to help. In many cases, the relationship and bond that develops between riders and volunteers extends far beyond the car rides.
