Capitola Cares is a community-anchored nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of those who live and work in Capitola.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to strengthen Capitola from the inside out — supporting organizations and initiatives that foster community well-being, encourage civic engagement, and build a connected, resilient future for all who live and work here.

Board of Directors

Heidy Kellison serves as a commissioner for First 5 Santa Cruz County and on the Capitola Police Chief’s Advisory Committee. She was part of the team behind the Capitola Wharf Enhancement Project — but these days, you’re most likely to find her in a ballroom, training for competition.
