OUR PROGRAMS:
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
Our Transportation Program began in March of 2010 as a way to bring older adults who no longer feel comfortable driving themselves to the J-Sei Senior Center. This program was designed to address two needs that were becoming more apparent in the community: poor nutrition and lack of social options for people who have given up driving. Transportation service is available on Mondays and Tuesdays to bring seniors to the J-Sei Senior Center for lunch, to a local market for grocery shopping, and even to certain J-Sei exercise classes. On Wednesdays, the van takes riders to a fun destination for shopping or sightseeing.
