Letter From the Director
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support in 2025. Your commitment to our mission is more than a gift—it’s a direct investment in the lives of those we serve and a better future for our community.
Thanks to YOU, we were able to meet an unprecedented surge in demand this past year. With your support, we provided 18,662 free clinic-based services (a 21% increase!) and distributed healthy food to 26,192 families, reaching over 110,000 of our neighbors (15% more than in 2024). We also helped 350 high school students bridge the gap toward careers in healthcare. These milestones demonstrate the real, lasting change we are achieving together.
However, the need isn’t slowing down. As we enter 2026, health insurance is becoming even less affordable, and food prices remain historically high. Many of the families we serve are being forced to make the impossible choice between putting food on the table or paying rent—leaving them just one unplanned medical bill away from homelessness.
With supporters like you by our side, we are committed to keeping these essential services available for our neighbors across Ventura County throughout the coming year. We are honored to have your trust and look forward to sharing the impact of your continued partnership through our quarterly updates.
Please see the enclosed annual report summary and your 2025 giving history to WFC for your records.
With gratitude,
Lisa Safaeinili
CEO/Executive Director
P.S. Help us amplify our impact! Please spread the word about our mission with your friends and family!
Letter From the Director 2014
Dear Friends,
Great News! Westminster Free Clinic was named the 2014 Non-Profit of the Year by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce. It is a big honor and more than 40 of our volunteers, donors, and staff were present to accept the award at the Chamber’s Spirit of Community event.
Many thanks to all of our community supporters, the volunteers, the business community, the service clubs, the individual donors, the foundations, the corporations, the many clinic partners, and the medical community. This is an award we share together!
Other recent accomplishments this year include:
1) All 32 high school Seniors who graduated from our Teen Internship Program last Spring are enrolled at a college or university this Fall 2015. Half will be first generation college students.
2) Westminster Free Clinic’s 80 high school interns were honored and thanked by the County Board of Supervisors on June 17th, 2014 for their service to the community and for helping improve access to health care in Ventura County.
3) With the help of Kanchana Allan, a Masters in Public Health Intern, WFC started a new weight loss program called Leaders of Change. It was a great success and thanks to the funds she spearheaded raising, we will be able to offer the program again. The program recognizes participants as “Leaders of Change” who can help others in their community lose weight as they strive to lose weight themselves. The very first class had over 30 program graduates.
4) WFC expanded its community partnerships this year. Calfresh, Foodshare, Kaiser Permanente, Panera Bakery, The National Charity League, the National Assistance League, local Conejo Valley Rotary Clubs, local restaurants, and many others, worked with WFC to feed, clothe, provide school supplies to children and support the whole health of local families by offering comprehensive supportive services at the Clinic.
Thank you for helping us continue to achieve our mission and for helping us earn the “Non-Profit of the Year” award. Together we do great things!
Most Appreciatively,
Lisa Safaeinili, M.P.H.
