HSC’s Sponsor-A-Ride Program recently received a $2,500 grant from The Nonprofit Network’s Giving Circle. The goal of SAR is to provide efficient transportation services to meet the needs of seniors getting to medical appointments, social activities, shopping trips, senior centers and meal sites. Transportation options and methods are determined based on the client’s needs and can include door-to-door curb transport, transportation chaperone, and training on how to use the transit system. Thank you, Giving Circle Ladies!
