This past year, Meals on Wheels for Santa Cruz County delivered 66,118 more meals per year than in 2019.That’s 66,118 more home-delivered meals reaching older adults in Santa Cruz County—meals that help seniors remain nourished, independent, and connected. And these deliveries are about far more than food. For many seniors, the arrival of a Meals on Wheels driver is a wellness check. A moment of human connection. A reminder that someone is looking out for them.As more older adults face hunger, isolation, and barriers to accessing healthy food, the demand for home-delivered meals continues to grow. Meals on Wheels is one of the most effective ways our community can respond—with compassion, respect, and support—so older adults can age safely at home.This is what community looks like. And the need is still rising.To learn more about what’s driving this growing need, read and share our op-ed: santacruzsentinel.com/2026/01/07/guest-commentary-a-funding-freeze-would-put-seniors-at-risk-congress-must-act/#MealsOnWheels #SantaCruzCounty #SantaCruz #SeniorNutrition #InvestInSeniors #AgingWithDignity #CommunityCare #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #EndSeniorHunger ...

✨ National Mentoring Month Spotlight ✨This week, we’re highlighting the Community Bridges team members who inspire, support, and uplift others every day—shaping a workplace culture built on learning, compassion, and connection.Today, we’re proud to recognize Tony Nunez, Marketing & Communications Director, whose leadership is deeply grounded in mentorship. “I’ve been fortunate to have mentors who not only supported me during difficult moments, but challenged me to rethink how I see the world and the people in it.” Tony draws inspiration from the African proverb “Each one teach one,” a powerful reminder that knowledge is not meant to be held—it’s meant to be shared. “Mentoring taught me that when one person gains knowledge, they have a responsibility to pass it on. That’s how communities grow.” This idea has deep historical roots. During slavery, when reading and writing were denied, those who learned felt compelled to teach another—turning education into an act of collective resistance and care. “When systems fail or deny access, community steps in. Sharing knowledge becomes a way to uplift everyone.” Mentoring changed Tony’s life—and now, he pays it forward. “If we want a community of leaders, we have to create it—intentionally, together, and with care.” 💚 Thank you, Tony, for your leadership, generosity, and commitment to mentoring others. And thank you to all the mentors who strengthen our community through encouragement, patience, and respect—during National Mentoring Month and beyond.#NationalMentoringMonth #CommunityBridges #NonprofitLeadership #SantaCruzCounty ...
