The senior center has been vandalized three times over the past month. On two separate occasions, vulgar graffiti was sprayed on the backside of the building.

Most recently, a vandal threw a rock through one of the center’s windows. The building is located at Santa Margarita Park.

Senior Center President John Wilkins said he can’t believe the incidents would happen in Santa Margarita, especially at a place like the senior center. The vandalism is costing the center time and money, and money is hard to come by for a small nonprofit, Wilkins said.

The nonprofit serves more than 100 seniors in the county. Volunteers at the senior center serve hot lunches daily.

Investigators request that anyone who has information about the vandalism contact the sheriff’s office.

Let us know where to send a donation, once you find out. I would also like tho send one.


Really? You use a picture you probably pulled off of the internet of two middle-aged people who wouldn’t even be served by the senior center to accompany this article?


I’ll send them a check, this is very very sad!
