The Lindsay Lions Club is now collecting donations for the Delta Bus Senior Citizens Ride Free program, according to Frankie Minton.
"The Lindsay Lions Club has collected the last 13 years, and has successfully raised the amount of money that is required to run the program for our seniors. The many contributions from our community have been appreciated and we hope to do the same again this year with your help. Any size donation is welcome and much appreciated," Ms. Minton added.
Many of the senior citizens in Lindsay and the surrounding area do not have access to transportation. They are unable to afford a car, or they are no longer able to drive. Many are also very limited on income. Therefore, in order to help support this very important segment of the community, Lindsay Lions Club will be collecting dontations to guarantee that senior citizens will ride free on the Delta Bust Transit.
All monies donated for this purpose will be given to the Delta Bus Transit for the continuance of this program.
"Even with the Covid-19 crisis, the Delta Bus is still running and helping to transport the seniors to pick up medicine and other needs. With people getting vaccinated, seniors are being picked up more often. Please make checks out to DELTA BUS TRANSIT and mail to: Frankie Minton, Chairman, P.O. Box 644, Lindsay, OK 73052. We will be happy to mail a receipt if needed. Thank you so much for your support," Ms. Minton continued.
