• The morning shift drivers will arrive at our site in Richmond, then head to Ashland to pick seniors up from their home and take them to the Friendship Cafe site. The drivers will then bring the vehicle back to Richmond.
• Afternoon shift drivers will arrive at our site in Richmond, head to Ashland to pick seniors up from the Friendship Cafe site and bring them back to their home. Drivers will then return vehicle to CAPUP's site in Richmond.
