STUART, FL - A brightly colored bus with the Council on Aging Martin County logo emblazoned on it is now bringing services directly to seniors in neighborhoods throughout Martin County.

“We realized how difficult it can be for some of our vulnerable seniors to get to us,” Council on Aging Martin President and CEO Karen Ripper said. “The best solution for helping those in need is for us to go to them and provide them with services and links to resources right in their neighborhood.”

Board Members, staff, funders, public officials and supporters joined together on January 7 for the official ribbon cutting for the bus, made possible with funding from Impact100 Martin, the Wong Family Foundation, and Cleveland Clinic Martin. The United Way of Martin County is providing funding for the social worker, the “Navigator,” who is staffing the van.
