"It has been a blessing to have people like you to help others during these tough times. That you for all your help!" – Francisca, Case Management Client
"I am a recipient of Christmas gifts from the Adopt A Senior Program. I don't know who to thank for my gifts, but I wanted to let the program know that I appreciate the gifts. However, I was more impressed that someone was thoughtful enough to take time out of their busy life to purchase a gift for me, not to mention the financial implications during this difficult economy. - With deepest affection, Nancy M.-Senior Center member

Our team also provides referrals for utility assistance, employment assistance and translation services.
Our Case Management Department is open year-round, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday to provide assessment, access and referral to community members via scheduled appointments or walk-in crisis situations.
