Whether it’s a trip to the bank or a doctor’s appointment, we all have places to go and things to do.

Social transportation is the Papa way of bringing both companionship and transportation into the mix.

Sometimes we forget the importance of a simple car ride. When you provide transportation assistance as a Papa Pal, you’re making a difference in someone’s life.

Whether it's a ride to the grocery store or a physical therapy appointment, Papa Pals can help Papa members access the services and support they need. Helping someone get to a necessary appointment will ensure they aren't missing checkups and tests. Helping someone with grocery shopping means they can stock up on healthy food. And, when you make the ride a social experience, you make an even bigger impact.

Make a difference

When you work as a Papa Pal companion caregiver and provide car rides, you're making a difference.

Not only are you helping Papa members get where they need to go, you're offering companionship and conversation along the way.

Papa Pals are committed to providing door-to-door transportation with safety and compassion as the key focus.
