Many seniors in our community are living with numerous barriers that limit their access to food, especially fresh produce. We are here to provide not only food to these seniors, but also deliver friendship and smiles. When getting to deliver to the same group of individuals monthly, it allows you to build a meaningful relationship with these seniors. Being able to deliver food and a friendly hello to these individuals is truly special.
