Get Up & Go
A transportation and activity program for
older adults who do not drive
The Get Up & Go program provides a way for those who don't drive to be more independent through our transportation services. It also provides opportunities for older adults to participate in engaging activities with others.
Get Up & Go was nominated for the Jewish Community Federation's Program of the Year 2009.
