Adopt a Grandparent is open to people age 60 or older who have a financial hardship or do not have family nearby. The Joe C. Montoya Community and Senior Center contributes at least 60 names per year, said recreation supervisor Matt Faull, and one of its partners, Coconino County’s Meals on Wheels program, submits up to 90. Faull said the senior center team tries to identify those who live alone or are feeling lonely, who would maybe not receive any Christmas gifts if not for this program. {{featured_button_text}}“It put smiles on the faces of the people that give and smiles on the faces of the people that receive. I have no doubt even the people that are buying the gifts are smiling, so it’s a great, great program,” Faull said.
