ABOUT

Sumi Nungwa is a focused non-profit 501c3 corporation serving Hopi and Navajo elders residing on their reservations in Northern Arizona. We have developed personal relationships with our Hopi & Navajo elders and their families. By understanding their individual needs, we can provide food, medical boxes, personal and other items that make their lives more comfortable. We also sell traditional Hopi & Navajo art & crafts to help Native artists earn money and practice their art.

2026 Food Runs

Thanks to everyone that donated time, food/hygiene items and financial support, the 2026 Spring Food Run was a great success! We were able to add several new Elders to the program this year!
