The Avenidas Door to Door Program Restarts Rides on July 1st!

With the reopening of the state, our Door to Door Program can now resume rides for returning clients, new clients and for our own internal programs like Avenidas Village and Avenidas Rose Kleiner Center, following current safety guidelines for transportation and rideshare programs.

This month our Door to Door drivers are already helping participants in the Avenidas Rose Kleiner Center with rides for their reopening assessments as the Rose Kleiner Center will reopen July 12th. Pictured here are volunteer driver Stu Karlinksy, and ARKC participant Daniel Alfaro.

Our wonderful volunteer drivers are ready to return to work and drive you to medical and dental appointments, to visit with friends, get your hair done at the salon, or go shopping again! And our staff can continue to schedule Lyft rides for you as well.

The Door to Door Program continues to offer grocery deliveries and will be adding on additional offerings, so stay tuned!

If you would like to restart rides or are new to the program, please contact Mackenzie and Trina at the Door to Door number: 650-289-5411 or by emailing .

New Community Partnership

Now we have a new community partnership forming with Operation PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). The Avenidas Door to Door transportation program and Avenidas Care Partners social work program have teamed up with compassionate doctors from PAMF and Stanford to distribute masks and other personal protection equipment to skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care facilities, as well as home health care agencies.

The purpose of the project is to help protect staff, vulnerable seniors and caregivers from exposure in congregate living situations by providing surgical or N95 masks, face shields and gowns. Dr. Lam of PAMF, Dr. Martin, and Dr. Ayati from Stanford, are among the geriatricians coordinating this critical service with Avenidas, with the help of Pat Robinson, retired home health care nurse. This project will continue as long as necessary, possibly through the Fall and in the advent of future waves of the pandemic.

If you are interested in helping, please call (650) 289-5400 to leave a message for Jyllian Halliburton, Director of Community Engagement, or email . We are seeking volunteers to do outreach and deliveries, donors, and donated supplies for this important project.
