Support older adults and people with health challenges across the Central Coast who worry about losing access to the care they need.

They often wonder: Where can I turn for help? Health Projects Center is here to provide compassionate guidance, clear answers, and trusted support every step of the way.

Take Margaret*, for example. At 75, she lived alone, facing multiple health challenges and no nearby family. Simple daily tasks, like carrying laundry upstairs, felt overwhelming, and she wasn’t sure who she could trust.

With the patience and care of her social worker, Margaret gained access to home safety tools, personal care services, and eventually a caregiver she could rely on.

Today, she feels heard, supported, and safe in her own home.

Your gift ensures stories like Margaret’s continue to be possible. When you give, you support:

Care management that empowers over 900 individuals to live safely at home.
815 family caregivers navigating stress and uncertainty.
Workforce training to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals.

No matter what changes come at the state or national level, your generosity keeps our work steady, helping vulnerable Californians live with dignity, safety, and independence.

Give before December 31, 2025, to be the trusted hand someone like Margaret can rely on.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
