Get an Elder Ready for the Harsh Winter
Many parts of the Southwest can get very cold during winter nights. To help Elders and families prepare for severe cold weather, we provide winter readiness boxes. Each box contains blankets, scarves, gloves, candles, flashlight, batteries, ice melt and non-perishable food.* With this gift, they will be ready. (* Items may vary.)

Show You Care with a Christmas Care Package
Any Elder receiving this special Christmas Care package will know they are cared for. We distribute thousands of Christmas Care packages to Elders each year. We fill a large bag with items that are frequently requested during the year. The contents include personal care items, a first aid kit, a smoke detector, blankets, a hat, gloves, socks, tea and cocoa and some non-perishable food.* Elders always appreciate receiving these items for the holiday, especially since they are so difficult to acquire on the reservation. (* items may vary)

Help Provide Nutritious Food
Elders use the Elder Nutrition Centers as a place to find a hot meal and to socialize. The food, of course, is important, but the benefits of keeping an Elder's mind active and engaged is priceless. Homebound elders are generally able to have their meal delivered to their homes from an ENC as well. $25 will help provide almost 227 servings, so your gift will go a long way.

Promote Healthy Living
Covering basic needs is an easy way to show a Native American Elder how much you care. Help support Program Partners who are offering ongoing classes at regular intervals, home visits, or assistance with appointments that help inform people about health issues or health-related life topics. Classes may be exercise, parenting skills, career/life skills, or education about proper dieting and nutrition, diabetes, heart conditions, lifestyle, or anything health-related.

Celebrate Community with a Holiday Meal
Celebrating the holidays together makes the season special. Many families who cannot afford to have special meals at home during the holidays are able to attend one of the community meals we sponsor. We provide the food and community volunteers prepare, serve and clean up after the meal. The food includes items like turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. * Everyone enjoys attending these meals to experience the strong sense of community and holiday spirit that is always present.
