At 86, Nancy Wilson is still choosing the driver’s seat—and her kindness is helping older adults stay connected to the community they love.

After nearly nine years of volunteering with PPSC's iRide program, Nancy says she still has more to give.

Thank you so much for your big heart, 🙏 😊

PPSC’s Summer Smoothies & Snacks series has come to a close! Over the course of 10 sessions, our youth mixed, chopped, blended, and tasted their way through apple sandwiches, veggie dips, blueberry smoothies, guacamole, fruit kebabs, pineapple smoothies, oatmeal bites, carrot-orange smoothies, mini pizzas, papaya smoothies, and more.

One of our favorite parts was seeing youth try new foods for the first time, including coconut, papaya, prickly pear, and jicama! Thank you to Blue Zones Project Petaluma for helping us create a space for curiosity, learning, and healthy snacks this summer.

Fair Housing services for Petaluma residents are now being provided by COTS (Committee on the Shelterless), a trusted organization specializing in housing support across Sonoma County.

For many years, Petaluma People Services Center has been proud to support our community through Fair Housing services, promoting equal access to housing opportunities and helping prevent discrimination in housing practices. We are grateful for the support and trust we have received throughout the years.

COTS offers Fair Housing assistance to low and moderate-income residents within the City limits of Petaluma. The COTS Fair Housing program can provide tenants with assistance related to reasonable accommodations and advocacy, as well as answering general fair housing questions.

Our Home Delivered Meals are more than a meal; they’re connection and care for our homebound older adults.

Brad Haller, one of our senior services volunteers, gave us a glimpse of what a day of Home Delivered Meals looks like and how much it means to our clients.

Thank you so much for your kindness, Brad 🙏 😊

Sunshine, smiles & so many amazing memories! ☀️

What a day! Our first ever Sunshine & Smiles Fiesta was filled with laughter, connection, and SO much care for our young people! Youth in our program were able to pick up school supplies, enjoy games, and eat great food. Each and every school supply donation helped fill backpacks and showed our youth that their community is cheering them on. Special shoutout to Everest Restaurant, Mi Pueblo Petaluma and Pupuseria Salvadoreña for the yummy dishes!

Thank you for being part of Petaluma People Services Center! We couldn’t do this without YOU!

In 2021, SAFE (Specialized Assistance for Everyone) Team was launched to expand community-based crisis response services for situations that do not require a traditional law enforcement response.

Working alongside law enforcement, our SAFE team responds to both emergency and non-emergency calls while helping connect community members with resources they need.

Thank you to our community for embracing the SAFE team and supporting our mission to build a more compassionate and responsive community.

Find out more about PPSC SAFE Team and more services at tomorrow, August 4, 2026, in Petaluma and throughout Sonoma County. We look forward to seeing you there!
