THANKS TO YOU,
WE DID IT!
DMCC Met the $10,000 Community Fundraising Challenge!
At our fundraiser BBQ, an anonymous donor offered $10,000 toward the purchase of our new In-Home Connections program vehicle if it was matched by another $10,000 from the community.
Thanks to you, our generous supporters, we met the challenge!
The monies raised will go towards a new van. While we met the challenge, we still have a ways to go in order to purchase the van. If you'd like to donate, please mail your contributions to: DMCC, PO Box 2947, Del Mar, CA 92014 or visit www.dmcc.cc and click the "DONATE" button at the bottom of the homepage to pay online using your credit card.

We're Making Life Easier for our Del Mar Residents
Del Mar Community Connections is implementing a new group of services called In-Home Connections. This effort is a pilot program lasting 18-24 months to evaluate its success. DMCC is looking for up to 20 seniors who would like some in-home help to live independently. The best participant for this program is a senior who lives at home but can't drive or run errands on their own or who has limited contact with friends and who needs help with home maintenance and safety issues.
Look to Us for:
Personal Care Coordination of services, referrals and ongoing support
Daily Check-In Safety Calls to ensure you are ok
Trusted Referrals to perform discounted home repairs such as installing safety railings, grab bars and non-slip floor coverings
'Friendly Visitors' to provide companionship and conversation
Individual Transportation for shopping, banking and appointments
'Personal Shoppers' - whether for groceries or other items, simply hand over your list and let a volunteer shop and deliver for you
Occasional Meals To-Go ordered from local restaurants offering discounted rates and delivered right to your door
Trash Day Assistance to get your trash, yard waste and recyclables to the curb and back again
Each In-Home Connections participant will have a personalized set of services based on what they want or need to help them live safely and independently at home.
Sign up now at our introductory rate of $50 per month.
For more information, contact Jeannie Walsh, Member Services Coordinator at 858-792-7570 or [email protected].
