Attention all Seniors and caregivers, the City of Goleta is pleased to once again hold a free Senior Expo on Wednesday, May 21st from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Goleta Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue). This information packed event is designed to empower seniors, their families and service professionals with valuable resources and information.

“We are excited to host the Senior Expo and provide a vital resource for our community,” said Leonel Mendoza-Diaz, Recreation Supervisor. “Our goal is to connect seniors and their families to opportunities, benefits and resources located throughout the community.”
