Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) will be partnering with Town of Hempstead Town Clerk Mark Bonilla and Supervisor Kate Murray in sponsoring a free Senior ID Card Program in Wantagh.

        The program will be held on Monday, April 16th from 1 pm to 4 pm at the Wantagh Library, located at 3285 Park Avenue in Wantagh. All Town of Hempstead residents ages 60 and over are eligible to participate and receive a free senior ID card.

        The wallet-sized senior ID card includes a photo and the holder’s personal data, physician’s contact information, and emergency contact phone numbers which could be useful to paramedics in a medical emergency. Allergies and other vital information can also be printed on the cards.

        There is no fee to obtain a senior ID card.

        Residents who would like more information about the free senior ID program on April 16th can call Senator Fuschillo’s office at 516-882-0630.
