Why You Should Go:
  • Get Groceries
    You’ll receive a pre-packed box of food at no cost. This helps you save money on groceries.

  • Stay Healthy
    The food boxes often include fresh fruits, vegetables, and frozen meats (when available). These foods can help you eat healthier and feel better.

  • No Need to Shop as Often
    The shelf-stable items last a long time, so you don’t have to go to the store as much—great for people with limited transportation or mobility.

  • Easy to Join
    You just need to be age 55 or older. There’s no complicated sign-up process. You can call ahead to confirm hours and availability.

  • Connect with Community
    You’ll meet friendly staff and neighbors. It’s a good way to feel connected and supported.

  • Reliable Help Every Month
    The program happens twice a month, so you can count on it regularly.
