SUN LAKES, AZ — "Because we don't have enough volunteers, we are turning down client requests for rides."
Neighbors Who Care, a Sun Lakes-based organization, wants to get the word out to the public in hopes they can find more people willing to lend a helping hand.
The volunteer-based group helps seniors, homebound people, and those with disabilities who live alone.
Volunteers give rides, make friendly visits, and conduct other non-medical services as needed. They may need groceries or help with errands, minor home repairs, dinner delivery, or other relief/respite. Sometimes all you have to do is call to check in on them.
Many of their volunteers are snowbirds, so this time of year, they are especially in need of help to fill those gaps.
In the video player above, ABC15 talks with Neighbors Who Care about their program and the importance of the heroes who take the time to help others in the community.
A message on their website this week shows an "SOS" asking for more people to volunteer.
