Transportation Program Information
Transportation: "Wheels"
Last year, American Red Cross chapters provided almost 2 million rides to
seniors and others. Whether taking someone to a medical appointment or to
dialysis, this essential service makes a difference in the lives of so many who
might otherwise be homebound. The obstacles associated with aging and
disabilities can lead to isolation, loss of independence, unfulfilled potential
and a diminished quality of life. To these clients, transportation is much more
than just a ride: It is a means to "age in place," in the environment of choice,
and with a familiar support system. In many chapters, volunteer drivers are used
to offer this service. Contact the chapter at 203-792-8200 to arrange a ride.
Please provide the following information when you call:
