Mendon Senior Center Van Transportation

Even during the winter months ahead there is no excuse to stay home. The Senior Center van is available to offer transportation to Mendon residents, age 60 and over and to people with disabilities Mondays through Thursday for local medical appointments, shopping and errands and rides to and from Senior Center activities. If you have yet to make your medical appointment, Mondays and Wednesdays are the preferred days for medical transportation. Also, we can accommodate appointments times beginning at 9 a.m. with a final time of 2 p.m. Please call the Senior Center at least 48 hours in advance to schedule a ride. Greater notice, however, is recommended as we book up quickly. Requested donations for round trip rides in town is one dollar and out of town rides are four dollars. Van passes or Vanbucks are available for a donation of ten dollars payable to the Friends of Mendon Elders allowing for twelve in town rides. Vanbucks make the perfect holiday, birthday or thinking of you gift and can also be purchased to be donated to someone in financial need. No senior or person with disabilities will be denied a ride due to the inability to pay the requested donation.

Please note - If the Mendon-Upton school system is delayed or canceled due to inclement weather then van transportation will also be canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
