4 Dear Friends, Whistlestop has been honored to serve as Marin's central hub for older adults and their families for over 65 years. Over time we've come to realize that the true essence of Whistlestop is not just in the programs and services we offer, but in the palpable, transformative human connection that happens at every touchpoint, whether it's serving a meal, offering a ride, teaching a class, leading a workshop, or putting someone in touch with a resource they need to improve their quality of life. Seeing and participating in the magic that happens when we truly engage with other people is why we love coming to work every day. We are very pleased to offer this 2020 edition of the Whistlestop Directory of Older Adult Services. We have been publishing this Directory for 32 years as one way of giving back to the community that gives us so much, and as our way of saying "thank you for your trust". To the right, you'll find a table of contents with listings broken into 16 distinct categories. You can browse through these categories to search for a particular type of program or service or use the Index in the back to look up an organization by name. We hope you find the resources and support in this Directory to be useful and informative.
