Announcing the Neighbor Ride Volunteer Hall of Fame!

Neighbor Ride is excited to announce that the Neighbor Ride Volunteer Hall of Fame has been established this year as part of our 20th Anniversary Celebration.  The Hall of Fame honors those volunteers whose unwavering commitment, service, and care is a testament to the power of the simple act of “neighbor helping neighbor”.    

These volunteers have truly distinguished themselves in service to our older adults neighbors in Howard County.  We are so happy and proud to honor them!!
