our mission

"This program gives me something to look forward to each week. I don't have much of a social life on most days, and I look forward to the days I talk to Ben."

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started last year, Wei has experienced the crippling effects of social isolation and has rarely left his room at San Diego Square.

Martha, our Volunteer Administrative Assistant at Serving Seniors, started volunteering in November of last year, but was first a shelf-stable meal delivery driver for the organization. 

"As a delivery driver, I loved connecting with the seniors," Martha said. "It's great to see the same seniors every week and get to know them on a first-name basis."

Similar to many of our senior residents, Judith was worried about having access to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Thanks to our partnership with Cal Fire, she was able to receive both doses from her housing facility, the Schmale Family Senior Residence in Ramona.
