└ Expansion and enhancement of transportation options
Lake County is home to a high percentage of older adults and people with disabilities, as well as many low-income families. Many of these residents struggle to get around, especially when they need to travel to medical appointments outside of the county. To fill transportation gaps, Lake Links set out to launch a year-long pilot volunteer driver program. They recruited volunteers and scheduled monthly trainings, enabling them to provide rides to older adults in Lake County. Since starting the service, organizers say community support for a permanent volunteer driver program has grown.

Project Category: Expansion and enhancement of transportation options
Description: Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners launched Neighbors on the Go, a volunteer driver program to transport older adults and individuals with disabilities to medical appointments. To raise awareness of the service and assure riders that the drivers had been vetted, SNAP set out to brand the program. They distributed brochures about Neighbors on the Go to local community centers and health clinics. In addition, SNAP equipped each volunteer vehicle with magnetic door decals and provided SNAP-branded polo shirts and name tags to drivers. SNAP also hosted training sessions with new volunteer drivers and provided them with personal protective equipment to keep them safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Santa Rosa, CA
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2023
Project Category: Addressing community health
Description: Low-income older adults in Sonoma County often lacked access to fresh produce, relying on shelf-stable foods. Farm to Pantry addressed this by building "Farm-acy" carts stocked with locally grown fruits and vegetables, health clinics and other high-need sites. Volunteers gleaned produce from farms and added recipe cards to encourage healthy meals. The carts now provide free, high-quality food in a dignified setting, reducing waste and improving nutrition. One recipient said, "I walk out of the clinic to this bright cart full of freshly-picked oranges... it was like it was meant for me personally."
Mendocino County, CA
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2023
Project Category: Public space improvements to support recovery after extreme weather events
Description: Severe storms and wildfires often leave this rural coastal community without power for days, cutting off phone access during emergencies. To keep residents connected, volunteers distributed 70 solar-powered chargers with built-in lights and multi-device capability, working through the local adult center to reach those most at risk. Outreach included newspaper coverage and a planned radio interview to raise awareness. The project strengthened emergency preparedness for older adults and sparked plans to secure more units, reinforcing resilience in a region vulnerable to prolonged outages.
