Like to Drive?

We are looking for Hero Volunteers to drive Brighton and Penfield Seniors to Medical appointments, town community centers or worship services. Bri-Pen Senior Rides program is a part of Lifespan's Give-a-Lift program. If you are not comfortable driving, but are still eager to help you can sign up to be a dispatcher which would be matching ride requests from the Brighton and Penfield seniors to the volunteer drivers.

If you are a senior aged 65 or older and need a ride within Monroe County please call 585-340-8674.

Volunteer drivers are screened and trained by Lifespan, a nonprofit organization based in Rochester and dedicated to providing information, guidance and services for older adults. Clients must be ambulatory and need to call to request a ride 5 business days prior to an appointment. Transportation is provided for medical appointments from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on weekends for religious services. Donations are gratefully accepted to cover office expenses. All staff and drivers volunteer their time and rides are given based on driver availability.
