Free Care
Don’t discount the kindness of strangers—after all, it’s free. If you’re in need of assistance with transportation, running errands or even simple medical care, you may be able to tap into a local care circle. Especially useful for our aging population, these networks of volunteers offer free help with a variety of simple tasks, whether it’s for a one-time call or an extended period.
Residents of San Francisco’s Bay Area, New York City, Long Island, N.Y., and Philadelphia can try the Transition Network’s Caring Collaboratives. Also check with your local government, religious groups and other community organizations to see what volunteer services are available to you (or whether you might organize a new group yourself).
