TUCSON, Ariz. — A community-driven program is making a difference on Tucson’s Eastside, helping senior citizens who need extra support. It’s called the Eastside Neighbors Volunteer Program and they’re in major need of summer volunteers.
Becky Noel, executive director at ENVP, says clients love the program and what they have to offer. Noel says ENVP understands the various barriers behind senior residents needing the extra assistance. Clients like Frances Johnson, who relies on ENVP for transportation services, could see a delay in pickup times for the next few months.
Greta Orris volunteers as both a driver and phone coordinator at ENVP. She tells me the work is very fulfilling and that senior residents need more help than just transportation services.
