About
Started in January 2000, the Oldtown Salinas Foundation is operated by Joel R. Panzer and Frank Savino. The Foundation supports a number of community events and causes. Over the past few years, these include two fully endowed scholarships at Hartnell College, Youth Orchestra Salinas, The Veterans Banner Project , the Salinas Valley Food and Wine Festival, the annual Veteran’s Day Parade and South County Animal Rescue. The Foundation also provides a community forum for government, civic and most non-profit groups to interact with our clientele.

One way we to do this is we dedicate our time and talents while raising funds and awareness to the community.
