ABOUT STANISLAUS SENIOR FOUNDATION
The Stanislaus Senior Foundation is a charitable organization founded in 2008 that focuses on enhancing the lives of the senior population. By continuously advocating for vulnerable seniors as well as raise funds to provide needed goods and services, the Foundation helps enhance their safety and well-being.
In addition, the Foundation has supported local agencies with funding used to keep seniors safe in their homes. These include purchase and installation of numerous utility ramps for seniors, fire alarms, security locks, heating, plumbing and flooring repairs. All of these very basic changes and additions have served to maintain the recipient seniors safely and much more securely in the homes they love.
