Support Seniors at Curry Senior Center
No act of generosity is too small to make a difference, especially when it comes to promoting wellness, dignity and independence to our seniors. Curry is an oasis of care for over 2,000 seniors annually in their own neighborhood, providing nutritious meals, housing, case management, primary health care, mental and behavioral healthcare, socialization programs, home visits and meals for homebound seniors, and much more. Curry also provides technology education and equipment to our seniors, an essential need for keeping them connected to community during this time.
You're invited!
Please join us virtually for the Curry Senior Center Annual Gala, helping hand, healing hearts, on Thursday, May 13th at 5:45 pm. This year's theme is 49 Years in 49 Square Miles, celebrating Curry Senior Centers' long-standing impact in our fantastic city!
We are excited once again to feature Bay Area news personality, Curry Board Member, and long-time supporter Diane Dwyer as emcee, joined by former San Francisco 49er and three-time Super Bowl champion Bubba Paris.

This year's awardees for making our community stronger and healthier through their efforts
- The Dr. Francis J. Curry Award - Dr. Carla Perissinotto is Associate Chief for Geriatrics Clinical Programs at UCSF, where she oversees and develops all inpatient and outpatient Geriatrics clinical programs, including Care at Home. Dr. Perissinotto's research focuses on the health effects of loneliness, and she is interested in programs that address loneliness and isolation. She has been a critical advisor for Curry's 5-year pilot program "Addressing the Needs of Isolated Older Adults" and helped in the continuation of the program.
- The Joseph Mignola, Jr. Award - In 1993, Pacific Union real estate agents in San Francisco created the Community Fund. After Compass bought Pacific Union in 2018, it continued raising money for non-profits under the Compass Community Fund. This fund distributes grants to local non-profits serving San Francisco's neediest neighbors. The Community Fund has been a dedicated partner in supporting Curry Senior Center for over 20 years.
- The Vera Haile Dalenberg Award - Saint Anthony's Client Safety Services (CSS) monitors the safety of Saint Anthony's programs and outside organizations by providing on the ground response to increase safety in the Tenderloin and similar communities. By using a trauma-informed perspective, CSS staff have successfully built relationships with the communities it serves. The team de-escalates behaviors and risks with compassion and care. The CSS team is visibly present on many blocks in the Civic Center 7 days per week, most prominently in front of both Saint Anthony's and Curry Senior Center.
