Whether due to financial hardship, disability or other constraints, some people don't have a reliable way of getting from place to place, including to essential medical appointments and COVID-19 vaccination clinics.
Thanks to a donation from the Cadillac Area Community Foundation, WexExpress has committed to making sure that any resident of Wexford or Missaukee county who needs a ride to get vaccinated will have that opportunity.
The Cadillac Area Community Foundation recently granted $1,500 to the Cadillac/Wexford Transit Authority to be matched by New Freedom Program. The New Freedom Program is a federal grant to help individuals struggling to make it to their medical appointments because of a lack of transportation. With the grants, 3,000 miles of transportation will be provided to individuals in Wexford and Missaukee counties to get to COVID clinics.
