FirstLight Home Care is a new member to the Aptos Chamber of Commerce. Take a peek at the great work they are doing!

One day, you notice the little things have changed. The parent who once cared for you may need a little more care themselves.

When you're unsure what comes next, let's bridge the gap together.

Forty years.

Yesterday our headquarters in Watsonville was packed, and we are still smiling about it.

Thank you to everyone who showed up. Clients who have trusted us with their properties for decades. Neighbors who walked over from a few doors down. Suppliers and partners who have grown right alongside us. Friends we have known since the beginning, and a few we met for the first time last night.

We had mayors, supervisors, and city and county leaders from Santa Cruz County to Monterey County and every city in between. All four of our chambers of commerce grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the ribbon with us. Some of us are still not over that.

And the best part of the whole night was watching 160 of our own crew members standing in that photo. They are the reason any of this exists.

One truck in 1986. That is where this started. Everything since has been our community showing up for us, over and over.

Swipe through. Thank you, Watsonville. We are just getting warmed up.

We spent the afternoon visiting a few of our amazing Chamber members, and it was such a great opportunity to connect, catch up, and see all they have to offer. 💙

Our local businesses are the heart of our community, and every time you choose to shop local, dine local, or support a small business, you’re helping Aptos continue to thrive.

👋 And who knows… your business could be next! As summer continues, we’re looking forward to popping in on more of our Chamber members, highlighting what makes each one unique, and sharing their stories with our community.

Thank you to all of our Chamber members for everything you do. We can’t wait to see who we’ll visit next!
