Thank you to this amazing community for your support of Southeast Alaska Independent Living (SAIL) and some of our community’s most vulnerable citizens – seniors and people with disabilities. The generosity and support of our friends and neighbors is nothing short of inspiring! Last year SAIL helped 103 community members discover options to live as active, productive and involved citizens. We also serve the Chilkat Valley through our Community Loan Closet- loaning medical equipment like walkers, wheelchairs, shower benches and assistive technology such as magnifiers and hearing amplification devices free of charge. Last year SAIL loaned items to nearly 100 Haines households. A special appreciation goes to Chilkat Valley Community Foundation, their volunteers and donors. SAIL is grateful to have received a number of grants over the years and it truly makes a difference in our service delivery. In addition to CVCF, we’d like to thank Lutak Lumber, Mountain Market and Howser’s IGA for their longtime generosity to the SAIL Haines program. SAIL is also supported by dozens of local businesses through in-kind contributions and we couldn’t do the work we do without you! Finally, thank you to the 40+ households who have made generous gifts to the SAIL Haines program in the past year. SAIL will honor your gifts with integrity.
Sierra Jimenez, SAIL Program Director
