Seniors
The Buellton Senior Center was established in 1977 to meet the needs of the senior population in Buellton. We have now expanded our service area to include the entire Santa Ynez Valley and Los Alamos.
Meals and Nutrition
Meals on Wheels delivers meals directly to seniors’ homes 5 days a week. We currently deliver to Buellton and Los Alamos. Two additional cold meals provided to cover the weekend as well.
We are happy to help get you signed up for Meals on Wheels. Just call or come into our offices in Buellton.
Our grocery program provides groceries to seniors and families in need. The grocery bags are designed to provide enough food to last a week. They are packed and ready for pickup at the Buellton Senior Center every Monday by 11am.
We have a 24/7 farmer’s market on the porch of the Buellton Senior center. Anyone in need can come get fresh produce, canned goods, bread, milk and more.

If you can no longer safely stay in your home, we will be your liaison with the county to find an assisted living facility that you can afford through medicare or social security.
Emergency Housing
We can help you get short-term housing in case of an emergency.
Transportation
We provide transportation to medical appointments, including dialysis, wound care, chemo, and mental health treatment. We provide two options for transportation.
