Another free shuttle service is being launched to help give New Kensington residents in the city’s downtown “food desert” access to groceries.
Wesley Family Services, the New Ken Downtown Partnership and Westmoreland Community Action are partnering in the pilot transportation program, which will start Monday, April 10.
The Fresh Food Shuttle will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
A van will pick up residents at Kensington Arms, Pioneer Apartments and Parnassus Manor. They’ll be taken to the Golden Dawn and Aldi in New Kensington and the Walmart and Aldi in Frazer.
The shuttle will join a grocery shopping program sponsored by Harrison-based Allegheny-Kiski Health Foundation, that provides a free grocery bus twice a month, generally on Wednesdays, in New Kensington and Arnold. It picks up people at Kensington Manor, Arnold Towers, Citizens Plaza and Parnassus Manor and takes them to Walmart and Aldi in Frazer.
