As we grow older, our needs evolve — not just physically, but emotionally and socially. Sadly, many elderly individuals in India spend their later years in old age homes, often abandoned or left without family support. In such times, they depend on the kindness and generosity of people like you.

Donating to an old age home is one of the most meaningful contributions you can make. It’s not just about giving money — it’s about giving dignity, comfort, and care to those who once helped build our society.

The Parhit Foundation, a dedicated NGO working for elderly welfare, makes it easier than ever to contribute responsibly and transparently. Whether you wish to donate money, food, clothes, or your time, Parhit Foundation ensures your act of kindness truly reaches those in need.

🌼 Why Donating to Old Age Homes is So Important

Old age homes are not merely shelters; they are sanctuaries for senior citizens who need compassion and attention. Unfortunately, many such homes struggle with limited resources and depend heavily on public donations.

Here’s why your contribution matters:

• Basic Needs: Many residents depend on donations for daily meals, medical aid, and hygiene supplies.

• Healthcare: Regular checkups and medicines are essential but expensive for non-profit homes.

• Emotional Support: Spending time with the elderly brings them happiness and reduces loneliness.

• Sustainability: Consistent donations help old age homes operate smoothly without financial strain.

When you choose to donate through Parhit Foundation, you become part of a movement that restores dignity and joy to the elderly community.

💰 Ways to Donate to Old Age Homes through Parhit Foundation

You can contribute in several ways — every act, big or small, makes a huge difference.

1. Monetary Donations

The simplest and most effective way to support is through financial contributions. Your donation helps cover:

• Food and daily essentials

• Healthcare and medicines

• Rent, electricity, and maintenance costs

• Caregiver salaries

You can donate securely online via Parhit Foundation’s website using UPI, net banking, or debit/credit cards.

2. Donate Essentials

If you prefer donating goods instead of money, Parhit Foundation accepts:

• Groceries: Rice, pulses, oil, spices, vegetables

• Clothing: New or gently used clothes, blankets, sweaters, bedsheets

• Medical Supplies: First-aid items, adult diapers, walking sticks, BP monitors

• Hygiene Kits: Soap, toothpaste, towels, sanitary products

The Foundation organizes regular donation drives, ensuring all collected items are delivered directly to verified old age homes.

3. Sponsor a Senior Citizen

Through Parhit Foundation’s “Adopt a Grandparent” program, you can sponsor the monthly needs of one elderly person. Your contribution covers:

• Daily meals

• Basic healthcare

• Personal hygiene items

• Small personal comforts (like warm clothes or reading materials)

This is a wonderful way to form a personal connection — you can even visit or communicate with the senior you sponsor.

4. Donate Your Time: Volunteer with Parhit Foundation

Not all donations are monetary. Sometimes, your time and presence can mean more than money.

Volunteers can:

• Spend time talking or reading with the elderly

• Help organize celebration events (like birthdays or festivals)
