October 13, 2022NEET Visits “Morning Show”
Dori Sawyer, Administrator of Northern Essex Elder Transport (NEET), will visit the “Morning Show” on October 13th.
NEET is a non-profit volunteer driver program serving seniors in 14 communities in Merrimack Valley. Since the program began in 1981, NEET’s volunteer drivers have driven over 2 million miles.
Host Mary Jacobsen will interview Sawyer about NEET’s mission of providing curb-to-curb, non-lift transportation for seniors to local and out-of-town medical appointments when other means are unavailable or unaffordable.
Sawyer will discuss how the need for NEET’s services has expanded greatly. Her goal is to recruit new volunteers, and to reach out to people who may be eligible for rides but be unaware of NEET’s services.
Volunteer driver Greg Jablonski will accompany Sawyer to talk about what makes driving for NEET enjoyable and gratifying. Volunteers are reimbursed at 55 cents per mile and provided with free supplemental insurance.
