Refugee and Immigrant Support Services of Emmaus (RISSE) #423
The Native American Outreach/Transportation Program provides transportation to Native Americans sixty years and older who live on the Onondaga Nation and in the surrounding Syracuse area. While the majority of rides are for medical appointments and treatments, services also include transportation to pharmacies, nutrition sites, food pantries, the post office, banks, shopping, and other necessary places.
As there is no bus service on the Onondaga Nation Indian Territory, this program insures elders are able to keep medical appointments and obtain necessary medical treatments on a timely basis. Support for this Advance Special provides funds for needed maintenance and repairs of the present bus and for future vehicle replacement. This ministry is made possible through a grant from the Onondaga County Department of Adult and Long-Term Care Services.
