Alliance on Aging

As a community leader and advocate, the Alliance on Aging provides services and resources that address the challenges and opportunities of aging.

The Alliance on Aging was established in 1970 by a group of concerned local citizens who wanted to help seniors remain safely in their own homes for as long as possible. This volunteer-driven organization which began as a single program with a handful of volunteers is now a multi-purpose senior service agency with over 200 volunteers. The largest non-profit provider of senior services in Monterey County, the Alliance on Aging serves over 7,000 individuals every year.

Alliance on Aging programs includes Medicare Counseling & Education (HICAP) , Senior Peer Counseling, Nursing Home Information & Advocacy, Tax Counseling for the Elderly, Benefits Checkup , a monthly Senior Outreach Luncheon  and The HUB in Salinas. Alliance on Aging staff and volunteers provide direct services, information and education to seniors, adult children, caregivers and “baby boomers” who are approaching and preparing for their senior years.  The Alliance on Aging’s administrative and program offices are located at 247 Main Street in Salinas. Program staff also occupy office space at the Monterey Senior Center at 280 Dickman Avenue in Monterey.  Outreach staff makes regular visits to seniors at sites and venues throughout the county.  Spirals, a unique consignment and benefit shop located in Pacific Grove and Spirals by the Arch in Salinas, help to support the programs of the agency.

Currently we are offering remote and onsite volunteering opportunities
