The Webster Association of Senior Program Supporters (WSPS) hosted an Appreciation Luncheon on Oct. 17 at the Webster Arboretum for the organization’s volunteer drivers.
Chances are you’ve seen the WSPS automobile driving around town. Based at the Webster Recreation Center, the Webster Association of Senior Program Supporters is a group of volunteers who provide transportation for retirees and disabled residents who live within the Webster School District. They help residents get to and from medical and dental appointments, and provide rides to pharmacies, banks, barbers, hairdressers and tax preparation services.
In the last year, the all-volunteer driving force completed 4,188 trips, measuring 51,850 miles, and expended 3,907 volunteer hours servicing more than 200 of our Webster neighbors.
The volunteer drivers are the backbone of the organization; without them the service would not exist. Webster is indebted to them for their community spirit and service. These selfless volunteers are always happy to help and assist the retirees and disabled folks living in the Webster School District.
Here are a few photos from the afternoon (thank you to Dave Norton for the photos):
The WSPS currently has 64 volunteer drivers, but with the number of seniors and disabled folks in the Webster School District increasing, they’re always in need of more volunteers. For more information on how you can join the team, call 585-216-7829 or visit the group’s website. Monetary contributions are also more than welcome, and go to support the WSPS operating budget.
Here’s an easy and fun way to help!
WSPS is hosting an indoor craft sale on Saturday Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Webster Recreation Center, 1350 Chiyoda Dr. They’re expecting more than 40 vendors, so make sure to add this one to your holiday shopping calendar.
