Rising gas prices in the Rio Grande Valley pushes Amigos del Valle to cut senior events
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Amigos del Valle, a nonprofit in the Rio Grande Valley, is reducing its weekly events for seniors due to rising gas prices. The organization, which provides transportation for elderly community members, has cut the number of pickups from three or four times a week to just once or twice. Ramona Treviño, a Mission resident and participant in the dance classes, expressed concern over the impact of these changes on seniors' social activities. As of Thursday, the average price of unleaded gas in the area is $4.16 per gallon, significantly higher than the state average, driven by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
