Eventually, we came to know ourselves not for what we had or owned, but for what we gave; not for what we accumulated, but for what we allocated... The Soul of Money, Lynne Twist

SLS has served seniors in Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties for over 50 years!
​
The 12 Days of Giving is a community-wide nonprofit fundraising effort assisting local residents during the holiday season and beyond!

Senior Legal Services is acutely aware of the increase in the number of San Benito County people at risk. This is a perfect opportunity for our caring community to come together and help those in need.

The 12 Days of Giving is a collaboration of five vital nonprofit agencies providing the "safety net" services critical to the less fortunate community members. Participating organizations in 2022 are: CASA of San Benito County, Community Food Bank, Emmaus House, Sun Street Centers, and new this year, Senior Legal Services. 

Please support SLS with your generous donation in any amount! It is at the core of our mission to ensure that every dollar we receive is spent carefully, wisely, and effectively for the innocents depending on us. When speaking for those with no voice, one must do so by producing results worthy of each of them. 

SLS relies heavily on donations from the public to meet our communities' growing needs and continue providing our essential legal services. We appreciate your donation of any size. Our biggest expense is personnel to work directly with our Seniors in need. SLS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. (Tax ID #94-2280258)​

Please support SLS with your generous donation in any amount. We accept contributions not for our organization but ultimately on behalf of those we serve. This responsibility is not taken lightly. It is at the core of our mission to ensure that every dollar we receive is spent carefully, wisely and effectively for the innocents depending on us.  When speaking for those with no voice one must do so by producing results worthy of each of them. With gratitude, Tanya Harmony Ridino, Executive Director, Nicolle Nelson, Board President and Robert Taren, Past-Board President.
