“Transportation is a service the agency is working on following the restructuring of the congregate meal program in 2021. It is important that all older adults have access to a well-balanced meal, socialization, health and wellness programs, application assistance, information and education regardless of where they live in our county.” Deputy Director Carrie Kane said to X101 News.
