New Mexico Outreach is a non-profit organization whose members volunteer to help senior citizens in our communities. We are here to serve by connecting seniors to re- sources that exist or creating partnerships or providing resources when they don’t. Since we began, we have helped seniors with a variety of needs including medical concerns, transportation, home safety, and personal care.
In addition to the resources and information we provide, we have created the Bags of Hope program to fill the gap in senior citizens lives.
The city has programs for food for seniors in need but items such as toilet paper, shampoo, socks, and oral hygiene is not accessible. This leads to many seniors that can’t afford to care for themselves properly, which can result in health concerns.
