Community Care on Elder Care (CCEC)
This is a page for the Senior Citizens to find out what CCEC can offer them and how they can recieve these services:
***DRIVERS NEEDED***
January 1 2005 thru March 31, 05 Eldercare trasportation transported 40 clients. 36 from the city of Mechanicville and 4 from the village and town of Stillwater.
The service is being greatly strained and there is a need for volunteer drivers. One or two volunteers 3 to 6 hours a week would be a great assistance. Hours would be between 8 am and 5 pm, no weekends, no nights. At present there is only one volunteer doing home visits, and no volunteer drivers. Persons who in the past have volunteered and would like to do so again are encouraged to call the community center director at 664-2515. Drivers must have a valid and clean New York state drivers license and be willing to diriving a full size van.
