ABOUT ELDERTLC

Picture
ElderTLC is a Phoenix based nonprofit distributing meaningful gifts to low income residents in neighboring senior care facilities during the holiday season. By distributing gifts, ElderTLC wants their recipients to know that they are remembered and their community cares. The holiday season can be a lonely time for many and the joy of receiving a gift, no matter how small, can make the holidays special. ​

Elder TLC Inc is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (EIN Tax ID # 81-4206947). Donations are appreciated and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Our target distribution is the greater and outlying regions of the Phoenix area. The senior care facilities are selected by the Board of Directors annually from recommendations by professionals in the field.  

The collection of donations and purchasing of items are conducted year-round with the primary purpose to distribute these gifts during the holiday season. It is only with the help of our community that ElderTLC can bring joy to our neighboring senior care facilities.
