All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought — So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

The joys of caring for the well-being of others

What would you do if you could no longer drive? How would you get to your doctor or dentist? How would you get to the grocery store or post office? YOU can help fill this critical need for your senior neighbors by supporting Drive a Senior!

Every dollar you donate goes toward helping a senior to age in their home, receive healthcare, share a laugh with a volunteer, and feel the freedom a ride can offer. Consider volunteering and warming the heart of someone needing your smile.

Send us an email and we’ll get you on-board with our fabulous team of volunteers. nc@driveasenior.org

How you can help ....

FINANCIAL SUPPORT: Donations make it possible for Drive a Senior to serve our nearby senior citizens and to plan to continue that service  as the needs grow.  You can donate directly to our Drive a Senior region below.  And there are other ways to contribute by doing things you normally do anyway.
