All area emergency groups have endorsed this program. Once completed, the kit provides the necessary information for emergency personnel to respond quickly to your situation.

Opportunities with the Broadway Seniors Resource Council- DRIVERS FOR ESCORTED RIDES PROGRAM - Do you have spare time that you would like to use helping seniors in need of transportation? We are looking for capable people willing to donate a few hours a week of their time. Many seniors can no longer drive or have difficulty navigating transit (bus), and would greatly appreciate transportation to and from appointments, shopping, and various other engagements.
Drivers will be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses, have the opportunity to participate in volunteer appreciation events, and will receive a letter of reference upon request.
- COUNCIL MEMBERS NEEDED - Representatives from the community, agencies, and churches (operating, working, or living in the BSRC catchment area) to sit on an advisory board or our board of directors to ensure the concerns of seniors who live independently in the community are heard. Please join us at a Council meeting to see what we’re all about.
