As part of the 2018 Active Aging Week for the City of Santa Maria, CAC held a luncheon at the Elwin Mussell Center. Seniors had the opportunity to meet CAC staff and were provided information regarding Senior Nutrition, Home and Energy, 211, Children Services and a variety of other services offered by CAC. The weeklong observance celebrates active aging adults as fully participating members of society and promotes the benefits of leading an active, healthier lifestyle.

SBCEO's Health Linkages was delighted to organize last week's Health Screening this past Friday at the St. George Youth Center in Isla Vista. Thanks to their efforts and those of numerous community partners, 130+ children received vision, hearing, and dental screenings, as well as fluoride varnish.

Fortunately, Bri had Monica, an AFLP case manager from the Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County, to help secure an educational plan tailored to meet Bri’s needs and to create a plan to care for her baby.
