Tables shrouded in red cloth and embossed with the names of Santa Barbara City College departments lined the room as potential students — many of them seniors or mothers with children in tow — mingled with college representatives. It was like any other campus resource fair, but this time the campus was not on the Mesa. ⁠
⁠
On Thursday, SBCC held its first-ever resource fair at St. Vincent’s Santa Barbara, connecting low-income residents with the services needed to make continuing their education attainable. ⁠
⁠
Founded in 1858 by the Daughters of Charity as an orphanage and Santa Barbara’s first English-speaking school, “St. Vincent’s remains the longest, continually-operating nonprofit social service agency in Santa Barbara,” according to its website. The organization has inhabited different locations across town and taken many shapes over the years, continually evolving to meet the community’s needs. ⁠
⁠
Today, their Goleta Calle Real campus houses about 100 low-income seniors and about 30 women and children in two-year transitional housing, and it serves about 85 people daily at the Fr. Virgil Cordano Center homeless day shelter. When on St. Vincent’s campus, residents and shelter visitors are connected with resources to help them navigate tumultuous times.⁠
