This summer we have a very special opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our friends from the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe. The impact of the coronavirus in these communities has been significant, resulting in lockdowns and extended curfews. These response practices have exacerbated the limited access to food and water many people already experience.
Central Christian Church is collecting donations on behalf of our friends who are coordinating the COVID-19 Navajo & Hopi Elder Support Project. Our aim is to provide them with bi-monthly distributions of food, water, cleaning supplies, and hygiene products from now until the middle of August. These donations will then be delivered to senior centers for distribution to Navajo and Hopi elders.
Monetary donations are welcome, but the greatest need is for shoppers to track down the following items and get them delivered to us! Purchase as many as you would like of one or more items below. Or you can sign up for items specifically needed for the next delivery by clicking this link. Please adhere to the listed size for each item.
