Older adults hardest hit by hunger as their presence grows on the free food bank lines.

Hard working older adults are also needing help in our food pantry. We are now supporting MercyHouse, and elderly home program for low income seniors. Food is getting to be very expensive and even if you make a fairly reasonable salary, how can you pay for the food? We are very blessed in that we can give some organic fruits, vegetables and even meat from Trader Joe’s, one of our main donators. All the people who receive food from us are very thankful! So are we to be able to give it out.
