TODOS UNIDOS in collaboration with JFCS/East Bay's Senior Groups, held monthly at Bay Point Ambrose Center and at the Pittsburg Senior Center, are the only ongoing senior educational and social support groups for Latinos in either community.

The groups offer a consistent place for seniors to socialize and share a meal, while also benefiting from information about health and community resources critical to the needs of seniors. At each month's meeting, community agencies such as Caring Hands, Money Management, Medicare, Lyons Visual Center, Hospice of Contra Costa, Family Caregiver Alliance, Foundation for Osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's Association provide bilingual speakers on relevant health and mental health topics. In addition, at each meeting members participate in arts and crafts projects, discussion on cooking traditional foods in nutritious ways, and group exercise activities.

A leadership team of senior health promoters and volunteers from the group regularly helps with the planning and coordinating of events. This year, over 100 seniors have participated in the groups.

Senior Appreciation Day and Health Resources Fair: This unique annual event provides local seniors of all backgrounds and ethnicities, along with their family caregivers, information about community resources, on-site health screenings, health education, entertainment and food. This special day allows the district an opportunity to show seniors how much they are cared for and appreciated by their community. JFCS/East Bay, Area Agency on Aging and Todos Unidos has played a leading role in initiating and coordinating this event, which has been held at the Ambrose Recreation Center in Bay Point and has included the collaborative participation of more than 50 agencies serving the Bay Point community.
