San Diego, Calif. – Aug 5, 2024 – St. Paul’s Senior Services (SPSS) proudly participated in the 2024 San Diego Pride Parade and Festival, a two-day event in Balboa Park, to demonstrate its support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and seniors in the community. The organization’s inaugural appearance reinforced its mission of transforming the aging experience and improving the quality of life for those it serves.
St. Paul’s employees embraced the slogan “Standing Proud with Pride” at two festival booths offering information on St. Paul’s programs, services, and communities. Special emphasis was placed on The Manor on Bankers Hill, a newly-renovated retirement community for active seniors that welcomes LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples over 55.
“Everyone has a place at our table here—especially the underserved, overlooked, and most vulnerable in our community,” said Craig Smith, Director of Donor Engagement for the St. Paul’s Senior Services Foundation. “I was honored to represent St. Paul’s at PRIDE this year and especially proud to share our mission of serving seniors with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.”
St. Paul’s Senior Services’ participation in the parade was made possible through a collaboration with San Diego Oasis. Both organizations were located in the festival’s Senior Cool Zones, which provided shade and critical resources to seniors throughout the weekend.
St. Paul’s Senior Services is currently hiring for several positions across various departments. Individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of seniors are encouraged to apply. For more information about available opportunities, please visit the careers page.
