What is SAN?
The Senior Action Network is collection of member businesses in Thurston, Mason, and Lewis counties dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors through business development, resources and services.
Our mission includes providing education to help enhance healthy, independent and secure lives for seniors in our community.
Even those not yet considered “seniors” are certainly seniors-in-training and can benefit from the plethora of information provided.
Speakers
In addition to the ongoing monthly educational opportunities, members of our Speakers Bureau are also available to you or any group you may participate in. (Church group, Rotary, etc) Our speakers provide education on a variety of topics, and all programs are educational only. (There is no selling) Examples of topics include Long term care options, legal matters, healthy living, organizing and downsizing, and many more.
Gifting
SAN has a financial gifting program that provides help to seniors through donations from the public and businesses when there are no other options for them. Funds have been distributed for utility assistance, building a ramp, dental help, etc. The Gifting Committee requests those applying for our help to attempt to locate financial resources elsewhere first:
SAN should be a “last stop” for emergency assistance.
To learn more about Gifting, please contact us.
