United Way of Bucks County provides healthy food to our neighbors in need.

The Senior Food Box Program works to improve the health of low-income seniors by supplementing their diets with nutritious food. Hunger among seniors makes them more prone to depression, heart attack, and other serious health complications.

Senior food boxes are distributed by Bucks County Opportunity Council, with additional fresh produce provided by United Way of Bucks County.

INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHY MEALS

In Pennsylvania, eligible participants include low-income individuals who are at least 60 years old and whose household income is at or below 130 percent of the U.S. poverty level. The senior food boxes do not provide a complete diet, but rather are good sources of the nutrients typically lacking in the diets of older Americans.

HOW YOUR DOLLARS HELP

Hunger and food insecurity are significant challenges in our community. It can be difficult for older adults to find healthy, affordable food. The Senior Food Box program eliminates barriers for seniors and ensures they have access to nutritious foods they need to stay healthy.
