📰 Local Stories of the Week
🌟 Sellen Senior Center Gets a Digital Boost!
Exciting news for our seniors in San Juan Bautista—the Sellen Senior Center secured a three-year Wi-Fi grant! This isn’t just about better internet; it’s about opening doors. Seniors can look forward to computer classes, connecting with loved ones online, and discovering new ways to stay informed and engaged.
Centers like Sellen are all about community, offering a space where learning, connection, and a little tech-savvy fun come together. It’s a win for our seniors and a step toward bridging the digital divide.
Helping Our Neighbors Affected by the LA Wildfires ❤️
The wildfires in Los Angeles have left behind devastation and heartbreak, with families losing homes and communities upended. Yet, in the face of such disaster, there’s hope—our local San Benito-Monterey CAL FIRE crews have been in the fight, lending their expertise and courage to help those in need. It’s a powerful reminder of the strength of our community and the spirit of helping one another, no matter the distance.
If you’re considering donating and are unsure where to go, our local Community Foundation has resources on its front page. Every contribution, big or small, brings hope and relief to families who need it most. Together, we can make a lasting impact and show that in times of crisis, we are all connected.
