Free Transportation for Homewood Seniors, age 60+
This program offers FREE transportation to seniors 60 and older who live inside Homewood City limits. Call the Homewood Senior Center at 332-6500 to schedule pick-up or to register for this wonderful service. The limit of passengers we can accommodate daily will depend on the distance of the destinations and locations of those requesting service. We have only one van operating Monday through Friday for this service. Obviously, on a day when those requesting service live on opposite sides of the city and their destinations are in different locations, the driver spends more time en route. Therefore, there may be days when we cannot accommodate all requests. We recommend that you schedule your pick-up a week in advance. Prior to your first ride on the van, we will ask you to supply emergency contact information.
The 9:00am-2:00pm daily schedule is:
Monday – Errands (non-grocery) within Homewood
Tuesday – Medical Appointments
Wednesday – Medical Appointments
Thursday – Piggly Wiggly
Friday – Food World & Publix
