Brown Bag for the Elderly and CSFP – Senior Hunger Initiatives
As we enter into a new year, we look forward to growing and improving our hunger initiative programs. Senior citizens (age 60 and older) are a rapidly growing demographic that have unique nutritional needs and very different challenges like functional limitations, health problems, or simply the inability to access or prepare food due to lack of transportation. Each year, Feeding America serves seven million seniors nationwide. As a part of the Feeding America network, America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia participates and provides for roughly 2,218 food insecure seniors through Brown Bag for the Elderly and the USDA’s Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP).
