Council on Aging and Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization that has been providing nutritious meals and essential services to seniors in Santa Rosa, CA since 1977. Their Meals on Wheels program delivers over 285,000 meals annually to food-insecure seniors, ensuring they receive one-third of their recommended dietary requirements each day. In addition to providing meals, the program offers social support, monitoring for potential problems, and access to other services such as social services, financial services, and care case management. Committed to reducing food insecurity among the elderly, Council on Aging relies on the support and generosity of the community to cover the costs of their program, as only 38% is supplemented by the federal government. By helping seniors stay in their homes and maintain their independence, Council on Aging and Meals on Wheels play a vital role in improving the health and quality of life for the most isolated and vulnerable members of the Santa Rosa community.Generated from the website

In the spirit of Bayanihan, the vision of Filipino Advocates for Justice is to foster a Filipino community with the power to advance social and economic justice, and to realize democratic and human rights for everyone. Our mission is to build a strong and empowered Filipino community by organizing constituents, developing leaders, providing services, and advocating for policies that promote social and economic justice and equity for all. Filipino Advocates for Justice, formerly Filipinos for Affirmative Action, was established in 1973 in response to the discrimination and alienation faced by the influx of immigrant newcomers from the Philippines. Our work is grounded in the spirit of Bayanihan ( people helping people ). Over the years we have been an advocate for immigrant and civil rights for the Filipino community and served the more vulnerable in our community by helping recent arrivals, youth and low wage workers navigate the challenges and hurdles of life in the US. Today, Filipino Advocates for Justice uses a comprehensive approach to strengthening the Filipino community, implementing four main strategies: 1 ) civic engagement and advocacy ; 2 ) leadership development ; 3 ) capacity building for community organizations ; and 4 ) direct services. 31080 Union City Blvd. Ste 104 Union City, CA 510 487 8552
