Programs
All of our programs are free, do not require any documents, no referral is necessary, and students can access the on-campus programs directly during school. Human service agencies can access our programs on behalf of the families they are serving by contacting the onsite coordinators.
In partnership with Santa Maria Bonita Unified School District's 21 elementary and junior high schools, Santa Maria Valley Family Services Agency, and Santa Maria Valley Fighting Back, the Community Closet is stocked with newborn to teen-sized clothing. It travels throughout the SMBSD's 21 schools. Please contact Ms. Olivarria if you are a family in need.
