Nutrition Coordination
There are over 50
senior hot lunch programs throughout the County which serve delicious, balanced meals that meet one-third Recommended Daily Allowances. The lunch programs also give seniors the opportunity to socialize, enjoy birthday or holiday meals and participate in other activities, improving the quality of their lives.
However, many seniors have a hard time getting to these lunch programs because they do not have any transportation. We can help!
Nutrition Coordination Program staff work with seniors to find the best way to get them to lunch. We coordinate transportation services with many different providers to improve access to the lunch programs. Our services include:
- Assistance applying for Metro's ACCESS program.
- Troubleshooting difficulties with any transportation provider.
- Arranging rides on ACCESS while awaiting ACCESS eligibility certification
- Arranging rides with volunteers driving their own vehicles.
Call (206) 448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815 for ride information.

Transportation is one of the top problems facing King County seniors. More and more seniors are turning to the Nutrition Coordination Program for help. Unfortunately, we simply do not have enough volunteer drivers to meet their needs. We urgently need to recruit more volunteers.
Volunteer Drivers:
- Provide rides using their own vehicles
- Choose the times, days, and areas they wish to drive
- Receive reimbursement for mileage and parking costs
- Receive supplemental liability insurance at no cost
- Do no heavy lifting or bearing of weight
