Cable Car Caroling is the Institute on Aging’s annual special event that brings holiday cheer through Christmas carols to isolated seniors across San Francisco at assisted living centers, skilled nursing facilities and individual homes. Last year, over 300 guests traveled on motorized cable cars visiting over 700 seniors.
The funds raised through the event sustain programs such as the Friendship Line - the only accredited, toll-free, 24-hour crisis intervention telephone line for seniors in the United States. The Friendship Line fields over 100,000 incoming and outgoing calls each year from seniors in crisis and provides assistance to those in our community who need it most. This year’s theme - “From Generation to Generation” – reflects the history and community participation of this event now in existence for over 30 years.
