TRAIL strongly believes in the importance of remaining healthy and independent in the home of one’s choice, regardless of income. Our Supported Membership Program offers reduced fees to older adults who cannot afford our standard fees. These Full memberships are administered by the Executive Director and are offered to qualified individuals based on available funding.
If you believe you qualify for a Supported Membership, or if you have any questions, please contact Sue Mellecker, our Member and Volunteer Services Coordinator, at 319-800-9003 or [email protected].
