Our Team

“In the past 3 years or more, I have had the pleasure of volunteering with Community Reach, which began with wanting to give back to the community in my retirement years. I began as a “travel companion” for people with long-distance and in-town medical rides. It was very rewarding as the trust and gratitude shown by our riders grew with every trip. Soon I was also assisting office staff with clerical work.

Community Reach offers a wonderful non-profit service to the community and the staff and drivers are an amazing group to work with. I’m truly pleased to be part of this vital operation.”

My name is Rick and I joined Community Reach in 2002 as a volunteer for their charity bingo. I became interested in their Volunteer Driver program TLC since I enjoy driving and helping people in our community.

They provided all the training I required and I get to travel to new destinations for medical appointments as well as I get to take people to local spots for things like shopping or adult day programs. The result is I have gained a sense of community involvement.

“Being a volunteer driver is a way for me to contribute to the well-being of our community. I consistently encounter gratefulness from the patrons of the Community Reach program and I am grateful in return for the opportunity to know more people in our community.

Volunteering is a part of the life of my extended family. My parents actively contributed to our community through years of volunteering and many of my siblings volunteer in their communities.

Volunteering is a meaningful way to show how thankful I am to be able to support others. A big shout out to the staff and volunteers who tirelessly and graciously organize everything at Community Reach to make the rides happen!”
