It used to be that many local seniors had to rely on family or friends to get to medical appointments, the hair salon, or the grocery store. And that was if they were fortunate enough to have friends or family nearby that could take them.
Many seniors would have to forgo appointments, errands, and socializing simply because they didn’t have a ride, and couldn’t afford to take cabs.
A few years ago the Hilltown CDC partnered with The Franklin Regional Transit Authority to open the Hilltown Easy Van Ride Service. This service has provided safe, reliable, free transportation to the seniors in our community. It turned into an incredible lifeline.
