Adopt-A-Senior - Thanksgiving & Holiday Program

We are now accepting applications for donors and sponsors. By becoming a sponsor, you will be required to Adopt a Senior for both Thanksgiving and Holiday Programs.

  • A sponsor will provide a $35 Fry's Grocery Gift Card for a senior to purchase Thanksgiving food.
  • For the Holidays, sponsors will receive a list of no more than 5 items from a senior's wish list to provide, as well to give the senior a $35 grocery card and a book of stamps. The average holiday sponsor spends between $150 to $200 on all items.

All Gift Card donations and be dropped off or mailed to the Granite Reef Senior Center 1700 N. Granite Reef Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85257.
