The Diné (Navajo) community is being devastated by COVID-19. In addition to many people with health challenges that make them at high risk for infection and death, the Navajo Nation is an extreme food desert with little access to food and to water. With 1/3 of Navajo residents not having running water, many people living in one home, and lack of personal protective equipment, the need for help is great. UUFD is hosting a supply drive for most needed items, which will be taken directly to the homes of families and individuals in need in the Navajo Nation.
MOST-NEEDED ITEMS INCLUDE:
canned veggies e.g. green beans, corn, peas
canned fruit e.g. peaches, pears, oranges
pork and beans, pinto beans
canned meat e.g. corn beef hash, Vienna sausages, spam
ramen noodles, pasta
crackers
soup
flour and baking supplies
bottled water
coffee
paper towels
toilet paper
bleach
cleaning supplies e.g. Pine Sol
hand sanitizer, hand wipes
face masks
gloves
baby food
diapers
dog and cat food
fresh food e.g. cheese, meat, produce (place in separate bag or box marked as “Fresh Food”)
Sponsored by UUFD’s Healing Racism
and Basic Needs justice teams.
Questions/more information: Bonnie
I worked as a nurse many years ago on the reservation and would like to help
Can I mail you a check to be used to purchase for them?
If you need help in collection, let me know. I can be there 3-6.
Hi Paula. We would love to have another volunteer. We will meet at 2:45 on Saturday at UUFD. If you can send me your email address, I can update you on details. My email is eshartsfield@gmail.com
Hi Jane. You can mail a check or we will have a donation bucket available on Saturday from 3:00-6:00. If you write a check, you can make it out to Toyei Industries, which is the nonprofit that we are working with.
May I have the complete address to help out with a check for the Navajo nation? Thank you, Tina
