This is a free, family-friendly, drive-through event located on the Hillside property at 1235 Veronica Springs Road beginning Dec. 7, 2024 at 5PM and running nightly until Dec. 31, 2024.

At Hillside, we believe in possibility. We are a leading advocate here on the Central Coast and for over 80 years, we’ve been more than a care facility – we’ve been a home. A loving place where abilities are fostered and community is created.
Giving Hillside’s Residents More Than the Basics
As Medi-Cal and Medicare funding suffers deep cuts, the need at Hillside grows greater and more expensive to meet. Donations make everything beyond basic care possible. Here is what a gift provides:
• $50 buys arts and crafts supplies for residents.
• $100 covers swim lessons for a resident.
• $1,000 sends a group on a larger community outing such as Disneyland.
• $2,500 provides an adjustable adaptive hospital bed.
