Seniors should not have to decide between their health and food.
The Food Bank sponsors vital programs to help seniors avoid these choices including the Second Helping Program and Fresh Produce Markets.
Second Helping Program
This program provides thousands of supplemental boxes of nutritional foods to homebound elderly in 19 of our service counties. At times, we work with our mobile meals partner agencies who deliver the food each month when social security checks and SNAP benefits begin to run out.
For more information or to donate to this program, email Jess Hudson, Child & Senior Programs Manager at jhudson@secondharvestmetrolina.org or call her at 704-805-1743.
Fresh Produce Markets
To help insure that our seniors have access to healthy produce, Second Harvest sponsors open air produce markets throughout our region working with local senior programs. A special truck delivers 10–12 fresh produce items and seniors shop for the items they need.
