ADOPT |
Your Price: $300.00
New adoptions are currently on hold until we have completed the spring 2025 Food Runs and have returned from the reservation. Adoptions will resume after June 15th 2025 when all newly enrolled Elders have been added to the program.
Even though adoptions are on hold, you can still support Elders in need. Please consider donating to the Food Card Program to make sure that Elders in the program have access to the resources they need to purchase fresh and healthy foods when they are able to travel to town.
Adopting an Elder is one of the many ways in which you can participate in the Giveaway Circle. A.N.E. is designed to build a bridge between individuals and cultures through opportunities to "adopt" Elders and help provide some of their basic needs. You choose the way that best fits your specific interest and ability to give.
When you adopt an Elder, you commit to providing your Elder with two sets of Rainbow Food boxes annually. A.N.E. provides and delivers the food. The cost is $150 per set (one set for the spring Food Run and one set for the fall Food Run) or $300 per year. If you're able, additional Elder support is available for Food Runs and support throughout the year.
Soon after your adoption application is received, you will be matched with your Elder(s). Adopt-A-Native-Elder will mail you a welcome packet complete with everything you need to know. The $300 adoption fee includes the first year's Food Run delivery of Rainbow Food Boxes for your Elder in the spring and the fall.
