United Way of North Central Arkansas is pleased to announce the purchase of a twenty passenger bus for use by the Izard County Senior Citizens Center in Brockwell, AR which is operated by White River Health Systems. The bus was purchased by United Way of North Central Arkansas with funds donated by Mohawk Flooring Company, a company based out of Atlanta, Georgia with a local factory in Melbourne, AR.
The vehicle, dubbed as “The Bus” by the employees of the Izard County Senior Citizens Center, will be used to transport seniors from their homes to the senior center in Brockwell to participate in daily activities. The senior center is hoping that more seniors in the Izard County area will be able to participate in events and meals held at the facility as the bus will allow for transport of more participants. They are also planning on using the bus to take participants on short day-trips, as well as the possibility of some overnight trips as the bus provides a more comfortable ride for trips of a longer duration.
A ribbon cutting of The Bus was held Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at the Mohawk Flooring Company in Melbourne with members from United Way of North Central Arkansas, Izard County Senior Citizens’ Center, and employees of Mohawk Flooring Company in attendance.
