How much do you know about resources available to seniors in Cupertino?

There are a variety of organizations and programs in and around Cupertino that help address the needs of seniors relating to technology, housing, food supply, transportation, and mental and physical health and well-being. The City wants to know what resources you may or may not be aware of.
