Vivalon

Vivalon provides transportation services for elderly and disabled persons throughput marin, sonoma and san francisco counties. Rides are typically scheduled for medical appointments, shopping, therapy or visits with family and friends.

The healthy aging center is an information hub that provides referral resources, an array of educational programs, health and wellness classes, social groups, technology classes and a computer lab center, and the jackson cafe mentioned under nutrition programs. The healthy aging center is open 250 days a year and serves over 6,800 individuals. Our average member is 72 years old.

Vivalon provides comprehensive nutrition services for older adults in need. The nutrition program is comprised of the meals on wheels home delivered meal program (3 days a week), nourish home delivered meal program (3 days a week for those not eligible for meals on wheels) a weekly brown bag pantry program in partnership with the san francisco marin food bank that serves 100 people a week with fresh food, and an on-site cafe open weekdays for lunch. Last year the meals on wheels program delivered over 95,000 meals and the nourish program delivered over 39,000 meals to 450 recipients. The jackson cafe served over 11,000 meals last year. The goal of the nutrition program is to provide access to healthy, affordable meal options as well as social connection in a warm and welcoming environment.
