Building the Future: A New Home for the Solvang Senior Center
The Solvang Senior Center has long been a cornerstone for older adults in the Santa Ynez Valley, offering programs, resources, and a welcoming space for connection. As our community grows and the needs of our seniors evolve, so too must our Center…
Expanding to Serve the Growing Needs of Our Community
Why a New Center?
With the number of residents aged 55 and older increasing, demand for our services has outpaced our current facility's capacity. We've reached a point where additional classes and activities are needed, but space constraints limit our offerings. Recognizing this, we've embarked on a Capital Campaign to build a larger, modern, and flexible Center—right on our existing site.
What Will the New Center Offer?
The new facility will nearly double our current space, allowing us to:
Serve twice as many seniors.
Provide multiple activity rooms for concurrent sessions.
Offer a flexible great room that can be divided to meet various needs.
Increase nutrition and health programs.
Enhance health and wellness outcomes for our members.
Add new programs and classes.
Provide much-needed community meeting space.
How You Can Get Involved
Our vision for the new Center is rooted in community support. Here's how you can help:
