Sowega Council on Aging — Southwest Georgia coordinated transportation

Who it's for

The Sowega Council on Aging, the Area Agency on Aging for 14 southwest Georgia counties, helps older adults and people with disabilities in Baker County (Newton) find affordable or free rides through its transportation service partners — to medical appointments, the pharmacy, grocery shopping, adult day care, worship, and visits with family. Program details and eligibility vary by provider, so call the Sowega Aging & Disability Resource Connection at 1-800-282-6612 to find the best option.

Sowega connects callers with local transportation partners; each provider sets its own eligibility, fares, and scheduling, and rides depend on capacity and funding, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
