Plans have been announced for a memorial service for a longtime South Coast social worker well known for his efforts to help the homeless.
Ken Williams was a Vietnam veteran who spent more than three decades working with Santa Barbara County’s homeless. He went out into the community to find and help people living on the streets. Williams also helped create a number of community programs to help those in need.
Williams died last month as a result of leukemia. He was 68. The community memorial service will take place at 11 a.m. Sunday, at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Gardens.
