Westcott Community Center provides over 5,000 rides every year to older adults on Syracuse’s east side and access to services necessary to lead full and healthy lives. Residents have long depended on “Westcott Community Center’s United We Ride Transportation Program” to access medical appointments, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks, and the Westcott Community Center congregate meals & Basic Needs Pantry services. All of these essential transportation needs are met using the Westcott Community Center’s 14-passenger van which must be replaced.
Purchased in 2003, the van has come to the end of its usefulness. The WCC needs to purchase a new van to continue access for essential and safe transport. Our initiative #WestcottCCRides kicked off on August 15, 2020.
Your contribution helps reach the goal of $45,000. You can make a donation through this GoFundMe link. For more information, visit the Facebook event page here.
