Volunteer: CRC is Looking for Volunteer Drivers!

Boothbay Rides connects residents of the Boothbay region without transportation with volunteers ready to take them to their appointments or errands. Most rides are right in the region, but if you’re a frequent errands-runner to Damariscotta or Brunswick, volunteer with us and you get a buddy to make the drive with! Connect with your community, share stories, and even make a new friend! There’s no minimum time commitment, only pickup the rides you can!

How does it work? Those needing rides contact us with their appointment information, including approximate appointment length and accessibility accommodations, if any. We then send out an email to our pool of volunteer drivers to see who is available. Once a driver is found, we connect them with the rider to establish pickup details. Drivers are expected to use their own vehicles for this volunteer opportunity, but we can even help to cover the cost of gas! 

Volunteer Drivers are expected to hold a valid Driver's License and be up to date on their vehicle registration and inspection. Drivers must also have a minimum $300,000 liability auto insurance coverage. CRC will run a Maine State background check, and you are welcome to request a copy of the results.

YOU can make a difference in the life of a senior!  Many of our elderly community members are isolated and lonely.  Most are unable to drive or take public transportation and don't always have family available to help them.  You can make a difference in someone's life by providing companionship, visits, help with errands or grocery shopping, transportation to appointments, or help with correspondence.  Some of our seniors just need someone to talk to, and to tell the stories of their very interesting lives growing up and working in Maine.  If you can spend two to four hours a week with a senior, please contact us.  See what a difference you can make and discover the rewards of volunteering!

Volunteers go through background checks and an orientation focusing on safety protocols. Extra safety protocols are in place during COVID-19 with most volunteers providing phone reassurance and doing errands for clients to minimize in-person contact.
