Press release from Family Service Agency of the Central Coast:

Become a Holiday Helper by giving to the often forgotten care facility residents in Santa Cruz County. Most care facilities still aren’t allowing visitors due to COVID-19 and residents are feeling especially isolated.

Please help us to make their holiday special and let them know they are remembered. Businesses, individuals, groups and families are invited to help.
