Transportation Assist Services
We are currently accepting South Minneapolis client applications for our Transportation Assist Program

The Transportation Assist Service program aims to provide quality and affordable transportation for older adults who are aged 60 and above and residing in South Minneapolis. Our objective is to enable them to shop independently without facing any difficulties. We understand that a person’s ability to shop independently is a crucial factor in their overall well-being. We offer rides to the grocery store, food shelves, and other places for errands throughout the week.  We also provide transportation for access to important locations such as the bank, post office, big box store, hardware store, and pharmacy.  The cost is currently $5/round trip ride provided by TRUST Inc staff drivers who have been vetted and trained.  They can assist clients to their door with groceries and purchases.  No one is ever turned away from services for their inability to pay for them.  

For more information call 612-827-6159 or e-mail transportationcoordinator@trustinc.org

Comments from participants have included:

“I look forward to grocery shopping and having people to talk with each week.”

“I so appreciate your picking us up so we can get our own groceries.”

“Thank you for the kind and understanding way you treat seniors.”

“Without the errand program I would have a real difficult time getting around to various stores or public places or the bank or UPS or even a dry cleaner.”

“I don’t know what I would do without the grocery and errand runs.”

“Having this ability to get out of the house and run errands is a tremendous addition to my life.”
