Provide Contact with a Food Box
You can take part in SWIRC's commitment to reaching isolated Elders, which provides additional opportunities for human contact. For only $25, you can help provide food boxes for about an Elder living in remote, struggling communities. Community volunteers first assist our staff in assembling boxes of food supplies, encouraging active community involvement. Then, the assembled boxes are distributed to Elders who come into the ENC or Senior Center to eat their hot lunches, or they are delivered to the Elders who are homebound and receive daily meal deliveries. Boxes contain a supply of non-perishable food including rice, beans, pasta, canned fruit, canned vegetables, soup, peanut butter, cereal, dry milk and other like items.* Each box is intended to have 40 servings of food, supplementing their often meager meals. (* Items may vary.)
