How it works

Volunteering for Neighbor Ride

Our volunteers are essential to the success of Neighbor Ride. As a driver, our volunteers help Howard County seniors overcome isolation and maintain connections to their community by providing trusted and reliable transportation for the older adults we serve or delivering food or medical equipment to those in need. Volunteer with Neighbor Ride and make a difference in your community.

Why You Will Love Volunteering with Neighbor Ride:

  • Flexibility: You simply use your personal vehicle to provide rides that fit your schedule and are convenient to your home/office. Opportunities to drive are available daytimes and evenings, 365 days a year.
  • Easy scheduling: You can choose your rides by using our online portal or calling into the office. You can also opt-in to daily emails of all upcoming rides or receive individual requests for the days/times you designate.
  • Chance to Impact Lives: As a volunteer, you will meet new people, share conversations, and significantly contribute to local seniors’ ability to stay healthy, active, and independent.
