“Why I love being an ECHHO Volunteer”
By Kate Habegger – ECHHO 2018 Volunteer Driver of the Year
“Recently, one of my ECHHO riders joyfully announced her doctors have declared she is in remission. She attributed a large part of her recovery to the support her ECHHO drivers provided during her lengthy treatment. It made me so proud to have been part of her support system during the most difficult journey of her life. During my working career, I never imagined that I could make such a difference in peoples’ lives, but as an ECHHO driver I see it every day. I truly love being an ECHHO volunteer.”

“My deepest thanks for your wonderful service. As a disabled senior living alone, I have few options for getting to my daily radiation treatments in Poulsbo. ECHHO has literally saved my life!”– Elenor
“For someone living alone, with impaired mobility and a walking stck, the only way to get to these medical appointments is often by very expensive taxi. The bus is a poor option, if one eye is dilated after a laser operation. Yours is a wonderful organization.” – Alan
Drivers:
ECHHO needs volunteers to drive people to both local and out of town medical appointments, to drive people to shopping, to run errands, and to make deliveries.
Office Assistance:
NOT just filing & phone answering, but many other (fun) essential office tasks!
Donating Equipment:
ECHHO accepts donations of durable medical equipment in good condition. We need lift chairs and knee scooters in good operating condition. If you have items to donate please call the our office at (360) 379-3246 to make arrangements.
