Linda Vasquez and Jim Worley
Committed to helping people in need
|
When Linda Vasquez and Jim Worley moved to Goochland in 2017, they wanted to get involved in the community. They joined a Bible study group and met Dr. Pam Richardson, the GoochlandCares physician, who invited them to volunteer. They have since volunteered in the Food Pantry, Clothes Closet, Critical Home Repair, Medical Clinic, and on special projects.
"If you can learn something new and make
someone smile, that makes a perfect day."

Commonshare Non-Profit Pharmacy
Making affordable medications a reality
|
Will Weimer believes affordable medication is a social justice issue. He founded Commonshare Non-Profit Pharmacy to help people get the prescription and over-the-counter medications they need at a price they can afford. Commonshare works extensively with the uninsured and underinsured to provide drugs at low or no cost.
GoochlandCares seeks out and nurtures partnerships with businesses and other
non-profits, like Commonshare, whose missions complement ours.

CURRENT VOLUNTEER NEEDS:
Are you interested in volunteering? We have many opportunities to get involved.
We are looking for volunteers to drive clients to appointments. We also need volunteer dentists and dental hygienists. And, as always, we have opportunities
in the Clothes Closet and Food Pantry.
