Funding for ENVP comes mainly from generous individuals who care about the seniors in their community. We also receive small grants from faith communities such as Desert Skies United Methodist Church, foundations such as The Nicholas W Genematas II Foundation and ITNAmerica, local companies such as Tucson Electric Power and the Jim Click Millions for Tucson Raffle.

    As Volunteers taking care of seniors in east and southeast Tucson, we do a lot. If you would like to help, jump on over to our Volunteer page.
