For every meal the Foodbank provides, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides twelve. We recognize how vital this program is to our food-insecure neighbors, so we coordinate and assist with SNAP applications in all 26 counties we serve.

Seniors

Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) boxes contain nutrient-rich foods to supplement the diets of low-income seniors. This program prevents many area seniors from having to choose between paying for food or other necessities, such as medicine or utilities.
