Why Your Donation Means So Much
Our senior population is often an underserved community, and the pandemic has been especially isolating for our seniors.

Throughout their lives, our Stanford Settlement community has given so much to the prosperity and growth of greater Sacramento and this is our chance to give back to them and show our appreciation.

Our Vision
A Wellness Space
The vision of the Stanford Settlement project is to create an outdoor space accessible for all senior visitors and their families. The outdoor areas will offer social spaces for conversation, areas designed for exercise and fitness, gardening, quiet moments, and meditation.
Our vision creates a safe outdoor area for seniors focusing on a design that allows all to participate regardless of mobility limitations including;
- ADA Compliant green spaces and walkways with safety rails
- raised-bed gardens that are accessible while standing
- an outdoor barbeque and kitchen with senior-friendly seating
- the removal of dying trees allowing healthy shade trees to flourish
With your support these enhancements can be achieved…and more!
