Who Are We?
SimiServe is a COVID-19 relief effort, exclusive to Simi Valley, that was started by members of the community. Some of the initiatives posed by SimiServe are to recruit volunteers, collect donations, and write letters to the elderly. Its main goal is to ensure that resources are accessible by the community. Our target demographic are those who are elderly or immunocompromised. After the COVID-19 crisis is over, our mission is to continue serving groceries to older adults and others who are unable to go grocery shopping on their own, as that is a prevalent and persistent issue that was brought to our attention. Please come join us in our mission and advocacy.
