Commission to Assist Those with Significant Financial Needs
A Commission of The Turner Foundation – Since 1958
Our mission is to build friendships with low-income families and individuals in Santa Barbara (especially friends without homes
and those with disabilities) and assist them in various ways: programs, meal sharing, housing, clothing and by hosting special events.
The Commission also partners with other non-profit organizations.
