CAN HELP! BAG® CARE PACKAGES
CAN HELP! BAG® care packages deliver groceries, personal-care items, and thoughtful essentials to isolated seniors and other neighbors in need. Items may include:
• Activity booklets and colored pencils for mental stimulation, relaxation, and enjoyment.
• Quality protein items and other foods that support basic nutritional needs.
• Snacks and comfort items that let recipients know they are remembered.
• Personal-care and hygiene essentials that support comfort, health, and dignity.

TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Technology can help isolated seniors stay connected, informed, and independent. Through our technology education programs, seniors learn:
• How to set up and use a smartphone, including larger text, louder ringer settings, helpful apps, contacts, and other accessibility features.
• How to use online shopping and delivery services when getting to a store is difficult.
• How to use video chat and calling to reduce senior isolation and stay connected with family and friends.
ADOPT SOMEONE FORGOTTEN® CAMPAIGN

• ADOPT SOMEONE FORGOTTEN® Annual Golf Tournament
• John “The Rev” Stanley Dignity Walk
• CAN Christmas
• Annual Angel Tree Christmas Gifts for Seniors
Join us in honoring seniors who should not be forgotten and in putting compassion into action.
