The Federation provides van service to medical appointments, exercise classes, the grocery store, visits to friends, and events at the Jewish Cultural Center. Service is available from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday by appointment. Van service is free to members of our community. New riders must call the Social Services Department at (423) 493-0270 ext. 16.
Current riders can contact (423) 551-3716 or drivers Tom Wilcox (423) 321-4236, Jon Wentworth (423) 298-7169 or Dwight Lunsford at (423) 508-4895 to schedule a ride. We do our best to accommodate each rider’s scheduled appointments, giving priority to medical appointments, grocery shopping and events at the JCC. Evening and weekend programs require at least 3 riders in order to run. Contributions to the annual campaign make this service possible.
