Our Mission – “To enhance the lives of senior citizens in Canyon County by supporting Meals on Wheels programs that ensure access to nutritious meals and strengthen dignity, independence, well-being, and community connection.”
Since its inception in 1994, the Canyon County Festival of Trees has blossomed into a spectacular event with a noble mission: to transform the lives of senior citizens in Canyon County, Idaho. This vibrant festival not only lights up the holiday season but also rallies the community to support our cherished elders. Through the Festival’s dazzling displays and spirited gatherings, generous donations pour in, reaching far and wide to Nampa, Caldwell, Greenleaf, Middleton, Melba, Parma, and beyond. These contributions power the Meals on Wheels program, ensuring our seniors receive not just nourishment but a cherished connection with the friendly faces of delivery volunteers. Join us in celebrating a tradition that makes a profound difference, one meal and one smile at a time!
“1 in 3 local providers has a waitlist with seniors waiting on average 4 months for vital meals”.
“More than 38,000 Idaho seniors are threatened by or experiencing hunger.”
