Del Mar Community Connections’ (DMCC) mission is to help and serve the senior population of Del Mar so that they may age independently and vibrantly in their homes. Incorporated in 2000, DMCC is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of dedicated and local volunteers. With their guidance and two full-time employees, DMCC is able to achieve their mission of offering numerous social, cultural, health, and educational activities.
