Transportation Support

Families enrolled in our Center may schedule our van for business and medical appointments as well as transportation to and from center activities. Routine shopping trips are not provided, but families that need to do their WIC pickup can schedule the van for those trips.

Transportation Details

All trips must be scheduled a minimum of 24 hours in advance, but families should schedule as soon as they know they will need transportation support.  This includes making requests for transportation home after getting your own ride to the center or a center sponsored event.

Same day emergency transportation may be provided periodically with the approval of the Director or Assistant Director.

Transportation is only provided to enrolled members of our family support center.
