Volunteers with Neighborhood Care Alliances provide free transportation and assistance with shopping.
By Loni Nannini Special to the Arizona Daily Star A neighbor in need is a neighbor indeed, and the Eastside Neighbors Volunteer Program is on a mission to ensure that more than 300 seniors can remain in their respective neighborhoods.
One of 19 Neighborhood Care Alliances administered by the Pima Council on Aging, the program serves clients age 55-plus on limited incomes. Volunteers provide transportation to medical-related appointments, grocery stores, banks, pharmacies and other necessary errands for clients who are no longer able to drive themselves.
