Self-Help for the Elderly has provided assistance and support to seniors in the Bay Area. Over 90% of our clients are low-income and from minority communities.

We provide trustworthy and devoted care for seniors to promote their independence, dignity and self-worth. Originally created as a "War on Poverty" program, Self-Help for the Elderly began serving seniors in San Francisco's Chinatown community in 1966. Today, Self-Help for the Elderly serves over 40,000 seniors each year in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Alameda counties. Under our attentive care, seniors will gain access to programs and services which will empower them to make lifestyle choices, to enhance their standard of living and to achieve the best possible health. We are firmly committed to the seniors' security, freedom, and peace of mind.

🪏 30 participants joined the Pumpkin Bonsai Showcase & Workshop at our San Mateo Center last Friday, presented in partnership with the San Mateo Arboretum Society.

Everyone had a wonderful time learning about the unique art of pumpkin bonsai. Special thanks to Ms. Cecilia Teng, a volunteer with the San Mateo Arboretum Society, for sharing her expertise and inspiring our participants with her beautiful creations! 🍂✨

A heartfelt thanks to our San Mateo Advisory Board Members, Mss. Deborah Soon and Vicky Wong, for organizing and volunteering at this event.

Stay tuned for another workshop in December.
