SERVICES

   VAN SERVICES

In cooperation with the Erie County Department of Senior Services, the town operates a van to pick up Senior Citizens (who cannot use, or do not have access to any conventional means of transportation) at their home and take them to the doctor, food shopping and other necessary services. The suggested donation for a one-way trip is $2.00, but each person determines what he or she can pay. The van operates five days a week (except holidays) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments must be made 24 hours in advance by calling 858-7433.
