own cars and gas to take care receivers to doctors or clinics, to go grocery shopping or to food banks, to pick up prescriptions, or to accomplish other transportation-dependent errands. Our volunteers are hands-on and stay with the Care Receiver during the appointment. This creates the opportunity for companionship and availability for assistance if any is needed. All volunteers must pass a background check and carry their own personal automobile liability insurance. Senior Rides and More provides supplemental secondary insurance for volunteer drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px\">While volunteers are the life-blood of this organization, there are times when a volunteer is not available. In these instances, we are fortunate to have the option of providing rideshare services at no cost to our care receivers.
