An Urgent Message from the Chief Executive Officer:

Dear Friends,

This past year, more than 63,000 seniors in South Orange County depended on programs and services offered by South County Senior Services to provide a meal or ride to the doctor. Whether it is a ride to the grocery store or medical appointment, participation in an activity at a senior center, or receiving a hot meal at home, we were there to assist any senior who needed our help.

Now we are in a time of need. With pending state and federal budget cuts, many of our funding sources have run dry. This, coupled with an increasing demand for our services from a growing senior population, has put us in a critical financial situation with a very real budget shortfall that has already begun to take effect.

We have an immediate need for cash contribution gifts for the capital campaign in San Clemente to build a new senior center and planned gifts for our endowment. Please help us now and to plan for the future.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marilyn L. Ditty
Chief Executive Officer
