contributors that make this program possible.
Navajo Santa strives to enhance the lives of indigenous peoples. We acknowledge and support the strengths and the needs of the Navajo people in and around the Utah strip communities through the spirit of giving while fostering trust and respect between cultures.
We provide this support with three annual programs:
NAVAJO SANTA FAMILY DELIVERY
A delivery of gifts to families in need across the Utah strip. Traditionally this program has always been held the first weekend of each December.
NAVAJO SANTA GIVEAWAY
The Navajo community gathers for a give-away of food, warm clothing, tools, toys and to enjoy a traditional Navajo dinner. This general gathering is held the same weekend of our Family Delivery in early December.
NAVAJO SANTA GOES TO SCHOOL
Each year an elementary school is identified to provide students with warm coats, back to school items, eye examinations, dental hygiene kits and dental education.
We are very fortunate to have many dear supporters without whose generousity we could not have made these many years of Christmas giving possible—thank you!
