Frederick County Senior Centers Grow Amid Transportation Gaps
Four county centers opened in the late 1960s and now run five to seven days a week with meals, blood pressure checks, and nutrition sites countywide. Transportation, funded by clubs and donations, needs a replacement van costing about 15 000 dollars as aging fleet limits participation and mobility for seniors over 60.
