Low-income seniors are referred to this once a year community service project of the United Way's Volunteer Center. Our food pantry to meet emergency needs of low-income seniors is stocked by the Telephone Pioneers, an organization of retired telephone workers. The Pioneers use their monthly meetings as mini - canned food drives. Free dog and cat food is delivered for the pets of low-income seniors so they are not spending their limited income on food for their pets. Dog and cat food is donated by the Treasure Coast Humane Society.
Some seniors qualify to receive free meals depending on physical or financial needs.
Donations from the community allow us to provide meals regardless of an ability to pay for them. Last year, community donations were needed to feed approximately 250 people per day for an entire month. Please read it.
