Benefiting Dignity Health Connected Living

Creating a stronger, healthier community for our seniors and neighbors in need.

Our Shared Vision.  

Every member of our community deserves to live with dignity, independence, and the support they need to thrive. Whether it’s providing nutritious meals to homebound seniors, coordinating support for those living alone, or addressing the critical issue of food insecurity, our mission is to ensure no one is left behind.

When you give to Connected Living, your gift directly impacts:

Food Security: No one should go hungry. Last year, we distributed 5.2 million pounds of food to our neighbors in need. Your support ensures that struggling families have reliable access to food and nourishment. 

Senior Independence: Our elders deserve compassion and dignity. Connected Living offers services that empower older adults to maintain independence and health, addressing physical, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Your support helps extend critical services.

Transportation Access: Access to transportation is the number one social determinant of health in the North State. We give 18,440 rides annually for seniors and adults with disabilities, enabling them to attend doctor appointments, run errands, and maintain independence, combatting isolation and supporting health outcomes. 

During a time of community hardship, one senior neighbor called the Food Bank to ask if there was enough food for everyone. She wanted to skip her own commodity pickup so staff could feed another family instead. The staff reassured her there was enough to go around. It serves as a reminder that those with the lease are often the first to offer what they have to others.  Food Bank
