About

Peninsula Community Senior Center is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, rebranded in 2025 from Peninsula Shepherd Center, serving adults 65 and older across ZIP codes 92106, 92107, and select portions of 92110. The center's Aging in Place program coordinates door-to-door transportation to grocery stores and medical appointments, with peer fellowship for veteran-age members co-hosted at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge #620 hall. The Connections Through Technology initiative, funded by a San Diego Seniors Community Foundation No Senior Alone grant, distributes tablets and one-on-one training so homebound seniors can join virtual programming and email family members. Day-trip excursions to the Safari Park, the Maritime Museum, and Viejas Casino run through the center's volunteer Ride Scheduler software, while a parallel wellness referral track routes members to props-based chair work at BKS Iyengar Yoga Center for arthritis-related joint mobility. The annual Summer Celebration fundraiser fills All Souls' Episcopal Church's Gooden Hall and Patio with luncheon service, live and silent auctions, opportunity drawings, and a vendor fair benefiting the Aging in Place line item. The center's most complex sustained workflow is dispatching its volunteer drivers to medical appointments — an insurance-coordinated service requiring HIPAA-aware intake, route planning around dialysis and oncology schedules, and cancellation rebooking when seniors miss morning calls.
