The Peninsula Shepherd Center, a member of Shepherd's Centers of America was incorporated in 1982.  Modeled after the Shepherd Center's of America http://www.shepherdcenters.org/, each Shepherd Center is independent and develops services and programs for older adults based on the needs within the local community.  

Recent estimates indicate that adults age 60 and over represent about 12.4% of the total population.  Further, while the 75 years and older population represent 5.4% of the total population in San Diego County, in the Peninsula community, this age group represents 7.1% of the population.  According to the latest projections there are 10,800 residents 60 and older living in the Peninsula communities.

The Mission of the Peninsula Shepherd Center is to provide a support system to help older adults, sixty plus, to live independently and self-sufficiently in their homes for as long as possible, while providing opportunities to learn, to grow and to serve.  Our Vision is a Community that Honors, Respects and Cares for Older Adults.  A Shepherd Center is required to be ecumenical, operate in a defined geographic area and not duplicate existing local services.

Over the years, PSC has provided a variety of services and programs.  Currently, PSC provides:  transportation, computer classes, a senior computer lounge, home shopping delivery, free legal assistance, social events and senior resources and referrals.  The downturn in the economy has made it difficult for small non profits.  PSC continues to explore new funding sources and partnership opportunities so that we may grow and sustain our existing programs and services.  To be added to our mailing list, Contact Us.
