Thank You For Supporting Our Local Food Banks!
SESLOC hosted a fundraiser for local food banks in May for the second year in a row. SESLOC, employees, and members raised over $14,000 combined for the SLO Food Bank and Food Bank of Santa Barbara County. Each dollar donated buys enough food for 8 meals, thanks to the Food Banks’ network of partners.
SESLOC “Gives Joy” This Holiday Season
The holidays look a little different this year, which is why we recently held a fundraiser in our branches and online in support of the Family Care Network.

SESLOC Supports the Jack Ready Imagination Park
During the month of August, we hosted a fundraiser for Jack’s Helping Hand, a local nonprofit that supports special needs children and their families. Together, SESLOC members and employees raised over $4,000 in support of the Jack Ready Imagination Park. We are thankful to those who could donate, especially during this concerning time.
