FISH Seeks Volunteers to Help with Driving and Phones
FISH (Friendly Independent Sympathetic Help) is looking for volunteers interested in driving or taking phone calls. FISH is a Lexington volunteer organization founded in 1974 that provides free rides for Lexington residents to medical and medical-related appointments in Lexington and in the vicinity of Boston.

Although there is no minimum age requirement, the great majority are senior citizens who are either no longer or temporarily not driving.

FISH suspended its services in March 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, but is planning to resume them on Monday, October 4, 2021, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Drivers typically volunteer for one day a month and can choose to provide rides to round-trip destinations either in Lexington and in the vicinity of Boston. 

Phoners also typically volunteer one day a month to match drivers and clients for that day. 

If you would like to become a FISH driver or phoner or would like further information, please contact FISH Membership Chair Pat Perry at 781-861-1390 or lprperry@verizon.net. For more information about FISH, visit fishlexington.org.
