Need Transportation to the Center?
Over 1000 bus trips were completed last year
to transport members to the Center. Without the Senior Center bus many people
would be sitting at home, lonely, with no one to talk to. Many older people
live with their children who are at work all day. Others can no longer drive
and depend on the Center’s bus to get them out of the house. The bus also
takes people to shopping on Friday mornings. It is the lifeline for some people
to the outside world. If you would like more information on our bus
transportation please call us at (302) 737-2336 or email the director at
cgrygiel@newarkseniorcenter.com.
