Please let us know as soon as possible when you need services, so we have time to make a volunteer match! While we'll always try to make the member/volunteer match, less than 72 hours notice is very hard to fill. A week's notice is just right!
|
Remember that we can assist with more than just a ride. We can also help with household tasks, visits - in person or on the phone, transitioning back home after a hospital or rehab stay, handyperson assistance, errands, getting organized, helping to find answers to a variety of questions you may have, technical assistance and a whole lot more. Just call or email the LFV office.
