COVID Is Not Ending Anytime Soon, But Funds Are for a Very Vital Program Serving Hot Meals to Our Most Vulnerable Low-Income Isolated Seniors

Santa Barbara, Ca., November 24, 2020: The sparkle in their eyes, says it all, “Thank you for being there for us.”

It is certainly no understatement that this year has been like no other.  Serving low- income seniors has always been our focus but at no time in our 31year history has our commitment to this population been more challenging.  The pandemic has hit our seniors in powerful ways. Having been told to shelter in place is daunting at any age.  With so many of our seniors relying on caregivers, families and friends, too many have become traumatized due to this isolation.  

We realized early on that seniors’ ability to meet basic needs would be threatened.  To meet this crisis, we expanded our mission and became food providers.  These headlines will tell you how we do it.
