Fall is upon us, and with it brings cold and flu season. For seniors like Jane, having access to nutritious food is vital to her health.

“Your ‘Nutrition for Seniors Program’ is a welcome gift,” she shares. “Without your food I’d have to sacrifice my nutrition with inexpensive and not-so-healthy foods like macaroni and cheese.”

A dental hygienist for over 40 years, Jane’s husband was diagnosed with a mental health issue that required use of their retirement savings account. They’ve found it challenging to live on their social security income, especially with recent inflation, so they find our monthly food box for seniors particularly helpful.

“I’ve tried to encourage other seniors like me to access your programs,” she shares. “But like me, they’re proud. It isn’t easy asking for help but sometimes you just need that extra assistance.”
