FARMVILLE SENIOR COUNCIL
Advocating for the elderly residents of Farmville, North Carolina since 1979
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Farmville North Carolina does not have public transportation services. Though many of the activities and services in the town are "within walking distance", many of our elderly residents are no longer able to walk the distance.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Transportation
We provide transportation services for our members to and from their homes to events and activities for seniors in and near Farmville. We host monthly local trips for our members.
Information
We provide information to local seniors about events and activities that help with local social, economic, and cultural needs.
Support
We support activities of Farmville Parks and Recreation and the Pitt County Council on Aging for senior residents at Farmville Community Center. We support involvement in local morale-building events such as arts and crafts shows, festivals and fairs, parades, and library programs. Our members support and participate in many local activities including Rooted in Community: Farmville’s Community Garden, Farmville’s Community Outreach Soup Kitchen, Pitt County Farm and Food Council/Task Force.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are seeking additional vehicle(s) to transport our elderly residents. As we age we need to use vehicle(s) that are more suitable for transporting residents who may have rolling walkers and/or wheelchairs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We are seeking donors.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have one passenger van that will seat up to 15 people.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We provide daily transportation to activities for elderly residents at Farmville Community Center. We provide transportation to events sponsored by Farmville Senior Center to local venues. We also partner other community organizations to supplement their transportation needs during their peak seasons.
We host monthly local trips for Farmville Senior Council members and guests.
We estimate the current market value of transportation service benefits that we currently provide to the elderly residents of our community to be about $25,000 a year.
