Background Statement
Senior Resource Services (SRS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dba 60+ Ride, was established in 2006 with the mission to offer older persons the opportunity to maintain their physical, emotional, and mental health while living independently. The founder recognized a critical need for older adults and their families finding affordable and accessible transportation in order to maintain independence for themselves or loved ones. To respond to this need, 60+ Ride offers a transportation program providing free rides to persons aged 60 and over, regardless of income, residing in the Weld County area. Clients go to medical appointments, grocery shopping, financial and government institutions, dialysis, along with social events, faith community events, senior centers, and personal care appointments and so much more!
The non-profit is staffed by Executive Director Robin Blakely, one full-time employee, and two part-time employees, and three part time drivers and one full time driver.
THE IMPACT: 60+ Ride provides services to over 1,000 active clients with more than 6,000 rides and 10,000 volunteer hours donated EVERY YEAR!
