"In 2022, I began using Dial A Bus and my whole life has been dependent on them since. I have the peace of mind to be able to sit on my back deck and work on my paintings. You know, I can plan my life ahead of time, contact them, schedule everything. Doesn't cost me anything. And I can expect the most beautiful smiles and happy folks drivers to come get me."

Esmeralda is just one of over 1,000 clients of Dial-A-Bus. With transportation provided by Dial-A-Bus, Esmeralda can continue her work as an artist and activist and as she says, "maintain her free-spirit and independence."

Thanks to our amazing board members, your donations to Dial-A-Bus can have double the impact through the end of 2025 with donations matched up to $3,000. dialabus.org/donate

Hey folks! Don't forget, Stone Soup is serving Christmas Dinner to anyone who is hungry in our community at 5:30 PM Christmas Day. Those who need a ride to dinner can catch Dial-A-Bus at the park by the library starting about 5 PM.

We have a few important Christmas announcements:

Our office will be closed on Christmas Day and there will be no service for any of the regularly scheduled routes.

Although our office will be closed, we will be providing shuttle service from 5 to 7 PM on Christmas from the Corvallis day-time drop-in center to The First Congregational Church on West Hills Road for community members to take advantage of the Stone Soup Christmas dinner program. Our first shuttle service on Thanksgiving helped to serve 192 meals and we hope to serve even more for Christmas.

We also want to wish everyone who celebrates a wonderful final night of Hanukkah today!

Dear Santa, It's my co-worker's fault!

How fun are these shirts that were gifted to our dispatch crew for the holidays?

We were honored to have Oregon Senator Sara Gelser Blouin and her son attend our holiday party this year. She understands the importance of special transportation services in people's lives. We hope you'll take a listen!

*She refers a few times to a video that was shared at the party to thank our drivers with comments from partners and clients. We will share this video with you all soon!
