Shepherd Center of Annandale - Springfield

Living a life that matters

Welcome to the Shepherd Center of Annandale - Springfield

The Shepherd’s Center of Annandale-Springfield is a non-profit interfaith organization sponsored by area congregations and community groups to serve older persons in the Annandale, Springfield, and Falls Church areas of Northern Virginia. Our primary purpose is to provide services to assist older adults to continue to live independently in their own homes and to offer programs which supply opportunities for enrichment, learning and socialization. Volunteer opportunities allow individuals to feel needed by reaching out to other older adults.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Do you live in Annandale or Springfield and need help getting to medical appointments or other necessary activities? We may be able to help. We have volunteers who can drive senior citizens (50 and older) to appointments in Northern Virginia.

Can you help by providing transportation to someone who needs to go to a medical appoint or errand? If so, the Shepherd's Center of Annandale - Springfield needs you as a volunteer driver. 

Please contact the SCAS Office at (703)-941-1419 for more information and to find out how to sign up. You can download a volunteer application here.

It's easy! Drive only as often as you wish and when it fits your schedule.

You will be bringing Sunshine into the lives of others as well as your own by becoming a part of this volunteer effort to provide assistance to other older adults who need help!
