Members of the Robert A. DeLeo Senior Center celebrated a long-awaited gift last Friday. Thanks to a MassDOT grant, the old bus was replaced with a brand new, eight-passenger bus, that will be used to bring seniors to and from medical appointments, grocery store trips and local field trips.
“It’s been a long-time coming that we have a new bus, and we are so happy to be able to provide this service to our seniors,†said Senior Center Director Kathy Dixon.
According to the staff, this is the first time that the center has a brand-new bus, and in the past they’ve been provided with used transportation.
