A new organization founded by Ossining and Briarcliff residents who envisions a community where people who choose to stay in their own homes as they age can do so knowing they have a support network surrounding them. CHH recognizes people's right to choose to spend their golden years in their own homes and the importance of having the right information and resources available to make aging in place as safe and comfortable as possible. We are currently surveying seniors to identify their needs in order to help meet those needs. For more information about becoming a Community Helping Hands volunteer, or to participate in a short survey regarding what services (for example, transportation, home repair, social events, etc) would be helpful, please send an email to communityhelpinghandsossining@gmail.com. Or call CHH at 914-346-7773. New volunteers are welcome.

Rides for Cancer Patients |
|
|
|
Facing a cancer diagnosis is difficult enough; worrying about how to get to weekly or daily doctor’s appointments shouldn’t be a concern. Road to Recovery is an American Cancer Society service program that provides transportation for cancer patients to their cancer life-saving treatments and home again. Volunteer drivers are urgently needed in Westchester County.
The lack of transportation has become a major problem for thousands of cancer patients. Many need daily or weekly treatment, often over the course of several months and they don’t have transportation or are simply too ill to drive.
The American Cancer Society provides a straightforward training program and arranges for volunteers to meet with each other throughout the year. Road to Recovery volunteer driving requires no special skills or education - just a safe driving record, a valid Driver’s license, some free time, a vehicle in good working condition, and the desire to help.
Contact Information : Interested drivers should contact Alison Suggs, Manager of Patient and Family Services at the American Cancer Society, at 1-800-ACS-2345 or
