Frequently Asked Questions

We do provide transportation for senior citizens and those with disabilities to local medical appointments within a 10-mile radius to Bellingham. This is a curb-to-curb service; riders must be able to enter and exit a vehicle without assistance. We request appointments be made earlier in the day when possible and that the request for transportation be made at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment.

We love our volunteers and are always looking for more! Feel free to pick up an application at the front desk or contact Terri Graham at 508-657-2710 to discuss with the kinds of activities you might like to do. You may also email Teri Graham. A Criminal Offender Record Check (CORI) must be processed before a volunteer can begin volunteering. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to Senior Center staff, as well as our attendees and volunteers.

You do not have to join or pay dues to participate in activities at the Senior Center; however, some events and programs may have a fee to help cover expenses or require you to sign up in advance. Please call the senior center at 508-966-0398 if you have any questions.

Programs and trips are for Bellingham residents age 60 and up; however, we welcome non-residents and younger adults to take advantage of some of our programs as space allows.
