In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to say just how thankful we are for all of our compassionate, caring drivers and dispatchers at Dial-A-Bus.

But, we still had to select a few for Employee of the Month! Please join us in thanking Scott Wait, JC Whitted, and Kevin Flannery for going above and beyond for our clients.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Dial-A-Bus! Keeping with tradition, our staff and volunteers will spend the day volunteering their time to prepare Thanksgiving meals. These meals will be delivered to our clients who requested one, clients who are no longer able to cook homemade meals, and other clients in need.

Dial-A-Bus is also providing Thanksgiving Day shuttle service 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 Thanksgiving meal program. This is our first year partnering with Stone Soup and we look forward to mutual support of each of our missions far into the future.
If you would like to support us in this endeavor, you can donate at dialabus.org/donate

Although many of our staff are volunteering their time today, Dial-A-Bus is closed for the holiday. No BAT routes are running. A small crew will return to work tomorrow and we will return to normal hours on Monday.

Introducing Nathan Haines as a member of our Board of Directors!

As the manager and co-owner of Fitness over 50, Nate has worked with Dial-A-Bus to ensure his clients can access the health and wellness benefits that Fitness over 50 provides. Both organizations share a common mission to provide service and enhance the quality of life for our older adult community members.

When asked about his decision to join our board, Nate said, “Over the years, I has seen Dial-A-Bus grow and adapt its services to continue to provide critical transportation for senior and disabled community members. I hope to be able to provide new insight as someone who has observed Dial-A-Bus for many years. Anything I can do to continue to allow these services to be provided in our community is important to me."

We're hearing that people are worried that everyone who receives SNAP needs to reapply right now. At this time, nothing about the SNAP recertification process has changed in Oregon. You do not need to reapply unless we contact you directly.

• Most people already renew every 12 months and complete a 6-month periodic report.
• Older adults and people with disabilities with no earned income renew every 24 months and complete a 12-month periodic report.
• Some people may be asked to take part in routine quality-control reviews or need to report certain changes in income or work hours.

If you get SNAP, just keep following your normal certification and reporting schedule.

You can review your certification schedule by logging into your ONE Online Account or ONE Mobile App, calling the ONE Customer Service line at 800-699-9075 or contacting your local ODHS office.

If anything changes, we will post updates and notify you directly.
