Dial-A-Bus of Benton County

Dial-A-Bus of Benton County Offering independence, stability, and community connections through transportation

From the humble beginnings of a small group of senior volunteers in the mid-1970s who made sure their friends could get to and from the Senior Center, Dial-A-Bus of Benton County has grown into an agency that serves the transportation needs of senior and disabled adults, children and families navigating poverty and other challenges, the homeless and home-insecure community members of Benton County, and disabled and displaced school children. Among other services, we have the privilege of driving developmentally disabled adults to their jobs, ensuring our unhoused population can access medical care and food services, and making sure displaced children have the stability of remaining at their home school when they are temporarily living out of district. Occasionally, the community ask us to provide other services that are no less important. In the recent past, we drove a client on hospice care and his family to see the ocean one last time, drove a cancer patient and her husband to celebrate the end of their chemotherapy regimen, and we remain open on Christmas Day so seniors in assisted living facilities can spend the day with their families. We are extremely proud of our service to the community and you are invited to support our efforts by becoming a volunteer driver or through a simple donation that will go directly to maintaining the services described above. Call us at 541-752-2615 or stop in and see us on the first floor of the Sunset Building at 4077 Research Way. Donations can be made at https://www.dialabus.org/donate

Please join us in thanking our Volunteer of the Year, Larry Sleeman, and our Employee of the Year, Karen Crockett!

The best problem to have as a nonprofit is a group of employees and volunteers who are all so wonderful that it's nearly impossible to choose who to honor with these awards. Larry and Karen have both been driving with us for a while and they are always happy to sign up for another shift, always kind and patient, and we only hear good things about them from our clients.

We spoke with one of our clients, Esmeralda Allen, recently to learn more about her life and her experience with Dial-A-Bus. One of our favorite parts of this job is getting to know our clients and we love being able to share who they are with all of you! Esmeralda has led a life filled with passion, art, and philanthropy. Full interview coming soon!

By the time we reach 65 years old, 10% of adults have already stopped driving. This number increases as we age, with 60% of adults over the age of 80 no longer getting behind the wheel. This decline can have a significant impact on independence and access, making it essential to explore alternative transportation options and plan for the future. When you support Dial-A-Bus, you are supporting a future in which transportation is still accessible to you and your family.

On Thanksgiving, Dial-A-Bus staff and volunteers from Fitness over 50 gathered to assemble and deliver Thanksgiving meals. In addition to those who helped with food delivery, several community members participated by donating to Dial-A-Bus to help with the costs.

Dial-A-Bus also served the community on Thanksgiving by providing shuttle transportation to the Stone Soup Thanksgiving meal service at the First Congregational Church. With our help, Stone Soup served 192 meals to our most vulnerable community members.

We want to thank everyone who has supported us so far this holiday season! We also appreciate those of you who entered into our Giving Tuesday Giveaway and we have notified the winner by email.
