Helping seniors in poverty live healthy and fulfilling lives.

WHO WE ARE:

Nearly 5,000 low-income seniors rely on Serving Seniors every year, and we are proud to provide all our services free of charge.

WHAT WE DO:
Since 1970, Serving Seniors has been transforming the aging experience through our innovative approach to providing comprehensive services. Our method has earned national recognition as a model for helping seniors remain healthy and independent. We’re the only organization in San Diego, and one of the few in the United States, that provides such a broad base of vital services to vulnerable, low-income older adults.

Our Programs Include:
-Meals
-Affordable senior-friendly housing

WHO WE SERVE:
More than 85% of our clients live below the Federal Poverty Level and struggle to meet basic needs, living on less than $1,000/month and paying $750 in rent, leaving just a few dollars a day to pay for food, medication, transportation and other expenses.
