Our Mission Statement:
“Sunshine Services helps provide services, resources and referrals to assist residents in the tasks of daily living.”
Any Sun City Roseville resident may become a Sunshine Services Volunteer and all of the programs listed in this brochure are in need of ongoing volunteers.
Sunshine Services are coordinated by a 9-member council with the Activities Director as their staff liaison. General meetings are held as needed, but information can be found in monthly Courier articles, on the resident website and in the Resident Membership Directory.
Confidentiality and resident privacy is maintained in providing services stated above. No personal or medical information is shared without the specific consent of the resident receiving a service.
For specific contact information, please see our yellow flyer “We’re Here to Help” located in the Association Bulletin Board.
