Avila Beach Community Foundation
Emergency Needs Requests Policy Statement


The Avila Beach Community Foundation Board of Trustees has adopted the following policy statement in response to the current Coronavirus pandemic:

The Avila Beach Community Foundation, in operation since 1998, exists to enhance life in the Avila Beach communities for all who reside in, work in, or visit our town.  Since the year 2000, the Foundation has annually awarded grants to local non-profit organizations that provide community improvement programs/projects/services that align with the Foundation’s mission.  In times of unanticipated economic stress, such as now being experienced locally and globally, the Foundation will attempt, when possible, to extend assistance in situations that threaten the welfare of non-profit, community or public agencies that provide core services to humans or wildlife in the Avila Beach communities.  Our infrastructure and resources are extremely limited, thus requests for assistance will be addressed on a case by case basis as received. 
 
For agencies in need of assistance, it is highly recommended that they also reach out to sources with greater capacity, such as the Community Foundation of San Luis Obispo County, or the United Way of San Luis Obispo County.  For individuals who are having difficulty meeting their basic needs, numerous organizations throughout the central coast exist to provide assistance.   For comprehensive information about the services available, dial the United Way 24-hour information line: “211”, or search online:  211 United Way of San Luis Obispo County.​

Help Keep Avila Beach Clean!

There has been an increase in litter throughout our town with the recent influx of visitors. More trash receptacles have been installed, but it has been difficult for our service agencies to keep up with the sheer volume of garbage, mainly on the weekends.

Would you like to help keep Avila Beach clean by volunteering to pick up trash? Please contact Bev Aho at (805) 235-8130 for supplies and more information.
