Transportation

When the Guilderland schools are closed due to inclement weather, all scheduled shopping trips and scheduled medical appointments will be cancelled.

 You will now find the listing on the local television stations. 

It will read: Guilderland senior programs — No transportation. 

When the Guilderland schools are listed as delayed in opening we will still provide transportation and we may be delayed in getting to you due to road conditions. Please be patient.

HEAP program

With cold months approaching and heating costs increasing, people with monthly incomes under $2244 for one person or $2935 for two people are eligible for the Home Energy Assistance Program called HEAP. This grant can be received each heating season and goes directly to the heating company. The amount of the payment to each person is determined by income, living expenses, and type of fuel used. Applications to the program are available now in the senior office. If you need assistance, please call to set up an appointment.
