• Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization is launching the Drive Happiness program where volunteer drivers take seniors to their medical appointments, to pick up groceries or take them to important life activities. The Drive Happiness program is looking for volunteers to assist as drivers. Many seniors in our community are facing extreme loneliness due to the lack of accessible transportation in the community and COVID-19 has only compounded this loneliness. Even one ride can make a difference. To volunteer, call 403-332-4320 or email volunteer@volunteerlethbridge.com.
