I have been hearing so many stories from families who worry daily about how their parents will get to the pharmacy or the grocery store. These neighbors deserve to live with dignity and independence instead of being trapped in their own homes. I am currently reaching out to local transit organizers to see how we can utilize our existing fleet to bridge this gap.

Seeing this community rally for our seniors brings me to tears because I know how much my own grandmother struggles to get to her appointments alone. This momentum shows that our town truly cares about the people who built it and I am so grateful to each person choosing to help.
