My name is David Benet and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Mobility Matters. This event calendar takes time and effort. If this page helps you out then please help me out by sending people to me that are looking to volunteer. I am looking for volunteers drivers that can help seniors and veterans get to medical appointments or go grocery shopping. If you know anyone that might want to become a volunteer please have them contact me at (925) 284-2215 or [email protected].

Do you know anyone that can volunteer to drive for Mobility Matters?
Requirements for volunteer drivers:
Be a caring, mature individual who is willing and able to provide transportation to an ambulatory senior or veteran who can no longer drive.
Age 25 – 75 with a current driver’s license.
Excellent driving record and crime free background.
Own or have access to a reliable, safe vehicle that is registered and insured.
Participate in a three hour training class before giving first ride.
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. As the senior population ages, we cannot keep pace with the growing demand for services without your help. You are the life line for the senior and veteran communities.
