Jewish Family Service of Greater Harrisburg

04/15/2026

JFS is pleased to share the launch of its new Senior Transportation Service, a program thoughtfully developed to help older adults stay connected, independent, and engaged in daily life.

This new service is the result of years of planning and collaboration, made possible through the generous support of the Jewish Community Foundation and the SAGE Committee. Their partnership has helped bring to life a program rooted in listening to and understanding the needs of local seniors.

The Senior Transportation Service offers reliable rides for everyday needs—whether it’s getting to medical appointments, picking up groceries, attending spiritual services, or spending time with family and friends. Beyond simply providing transportation, the program is designed to help seniors remain active participants in their community and maintain meaningful connections.

JFS is deeply grateful to the Jewish Community Foundation and the SAGE Committee for their support and shared commitment to enhancing the lives of older adults in our community.

For information about the service or to schedule a ride, please call 717-233-1681.
