Like all health and human service providers, ACC’s staff and volunteers have been challenged to continue to provide essential services for our seniors while keeping everyone safe at the same time. This is especially true for our ACC Rides Transportation Program. Despite these challenges, we have been honored to receive the Safety Recognition Award for Excellence In Safety from NonProfits United Vehicle Insurance. This award represents the third consecutive year that we’ve been honored. All three banners are proudly displayed in our office area.
Additionally, ACC Rides received special recognition from the Agency on Aging Area 4 for “Exceptional Performance for overcoming unprecedented challenges during the COVID19 public health emergency.” The timing in receiving the award could not be more special as we celebrate the initial distribution of the vaccines that brings with it a hope for a better tomorrow.
Both awards are testaments to the dedication and skill that our staff bring to their jobs and how our combined caring for others make this a better community for all.
In a challenging time when so many of our vulnerable seniors are faced with physical and social isolation, the transportation services provide by ACC Ride’s staff is more important than ever. We will continue to transport seniors to life-saving treatment and provide other essential services like home-delivered meals that help all members of our community to stay safe.
We are thrilled that the majority of our transportation staff members have received the COVID-19 vaccine. We will continue to use personal protective equipment and follow CDC guidelines to keep our clients, volunteers, and staff safe.
Because of Virginia Wieneke Dedication and Diligent leadership since 2004? ACC Rides/Transportation have accomplished much!
Thank you Virginia!
