Partners in Caring

History:

Our organization began in 1997 when a group of women from a local church wanted to address the issue of seniors needing little assistance to remain in their homes and live independently.

Today:

We are working on Santa Maria’s first Senior Expo coming in the Spring of 2025. We offer ongoing volunteer events throughout the year. We are working on providing two events a year for the older adults that we provide services for. Our free services to the community include up to three rides per week, errands, reassurance calls, and friendly visits.
