Partner with us in caring for the community

Ashley Payne

Community Partners in Caring is a volunteer organization helping seniors (62 and older) in need. The mission of the organization is to provide volunteer services for seniors, allowing them to continue living independently with quality of life. The pool of 88 screened and trained volunteers served 441 clients last Fiscal Year 5,065 times with services such as door-through-door transportation to medical appointments, shopping, or errands; friendly visits; respite care; minor home repairs by contractors; light housekeeping; and yard work—all without charge in the Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Santa Ynez valleys.

In reference to our ad in last week’s publication, I wanted to clarify that 85 cents from every dollar goes directly to support the services provided by the program. Thank you for your continued support so we can continue helping more seniors age in place with grace!
