Transportation of seniors has been a significant challenge for many years in our remote area of West Marin. We have provided over 50,000 volunteer miles and 3,000 rides to seniors in just 18 months using volunteer drivers. The program continues to expand and is well-received by volunteers and clients alike. We just expanded our Meals From Friends program to serve clients who are nutritionally at risk. Volunteers deliver the meals throughout West Marin three days per week to at-risk seniors. This program requires major coordination using volunteers for the bulk of the work. We developed a collaboration with the Marin Food Bank, and volunteers drive Òover-the-hillÓ two times per week to pick up food that we incorporate into our senior lunch and home delivered meal programs.
