Every year, Santa Maria provides more than 3,000 individuals with educational tools and resources to build strong families, promote healthy residents, and foster neighborhood revitalization.

Helping Families Help Themselves

OUR INITIATIVES

Programs & Services

Santa Maria helps families build self-sufficiency and break the cycles of generational poverty by offering a hand-up rather than a hand-out. We help families help themselves by offering a range of programs that cover education, health, employment, financial stability, and family support.
