Senior Shuttle becomes NW Shopping RideAbout!

2009-07-23T14:39:00.002-07:00

We recently reconfigured our Senior Shuttle route into the NW Shopping RideAbout.

On Saturdays the RideAbout serves the downtown area from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., making a one-hour shopping loop with stops at Gretchen Kafoury Commons, Rose Schnitzer Tower, Elm Court Loaves & Fishes, Helen Swindells, Rosenbaum Plaza, The Morrison, and Fred Meyer.

On Monday the RideAbout is a 45-minute loop with stops at Marshall Union Manor, Gallagher Plaza, Medallion Apartments, Northwest Tower, Fred Meyer, and Trader Joes. Riders do not need to live at these locations to use the RideAbout.

Transportation to Irving Street

NWPM now has volunteers available on Tuesdays to drive people to Irving Street Loaves and Fishes meal site and the Emergency Food Pantry located at First Immanuel Lutheran Church (map, site).

People in need may get a ride to the Irving Street Loaves & Fishes Senior Lunch (that program operates 11:30-12:30 every weekday) and a ride home from the Food Pantry with their groceries. See, print or share the flyer: click here!
