Two LA County Supervisors Clear the Path and Open Doors for SBSS
It’s that time of year to give thanks for our many blessings, and to celebrate friends, family, and those closest to us. At SBSS, we have a lot to be thankful for! Through the continued and generous support of our elected officials, St. Barnabas Senior Services is able to provide exemplary service to older adults in the 1st and 3rd Supervisorial Districts.
Supervisor Sheila Kuehl of the 3rd supervisorial district has been a longtime supporter of our Hollywood senior center, and her generosity has allowed for many improvements to our facility. Next time you visit us you will notice new and improved signage that highlights our many services, upgraded technology equipment for the best possible experience at the center, and a podium for our many talks and speaker series to educate older adults. She has also supported our Annual Summit on Aging, where we educate about the policy and system changes that need to be championed locally to support healthy aging. We are thankful for her passion, drive and tenacity!
Supervisor Hilda Solis of the 1st Supervisorial District has been a longtime supporter of our Echo Park and Mid-City senior centers, and we are thankful for her! Year after year she generously donates to our holiday meal program, where we feed hungry bellies a warm dose of love and nourishment! She also visits us every year to hear stories of aging members of the 1 st district so that she can champion public policy that supports all older adults. Because of her commitment and leadership, we honored Supervisor Solis as the LAAAC Legislative Champion at our 9th Annual Summit on Aging. She has been a true friend and supporter, and we are thankful for her love, spirit and dedication!
Of our many reasons to be thankful, the support of these esteemed leaders and their commitment to older adults tops the list! Blessings abound us to have true leaders of the highest caliber representing older adults in the 1st and 3rd districts, and we will continue to cherish their friendship and warm embrace.
