KINGMAN -The City of Kingman is working with the Senior Corps of Mohave County to bring the Senior Angel Tree to Kingman. For over a decade, city employees have been “Angels” to low-income seniors in the Kingman area. This year, community members also have the opportunity to be “Angels” to local senior citizens in need.
“The city is delighted to keep the long tradition of partnering with this great program that serves our community,” said City Manager Ron Foggin. “The city team takes a lot of pride in being able to help seniors, not only during the holiday season, but all year long.”
“Angels” can pick up wishes at the City of Kingman main office, located at 310 N. Fourth St. Once wishes are filled, they can be returned to the city office, no later than Monday, December 9. The wishes will be distributed to the seniors at a special event on Friday, December 13.
The Senior Corps is a volunteer service organization of adults, age 55+. It is comprised of three programs: the Foster Grandparent Program, the RSVP Program, and the Senior Companion Program. The Civic Service Institute of Northern Arizona University (NAU) oversees the Senior Corps programs in Mohave County.
