HEALTHY OPTIONS PROGRAM FOR THE ELDERLY (HOPE)

For many senior citizens living on a fixed or limited income, their food budget is overshadowed by payments for rent and utilities and the cost of medications. Without a consistent source of staple groceries, many seniors struggle with food insecurity and malnutrition.

The Healthy Options Program for the Elderly (HOPE) was created in an effort to curb hunger and food insecurity challenging older adults.

Thank you, HOPE sponsors:

Advanced Micro Devices
Church World Service's CROP WALK Against Hunger
Donald D. Hammill Foundation
Finn Family Foundation
Roy F. & Joann Cole Mitte Foundation
St. David's Foundation
Topfer Family Foundation

Through HOPE, CAFB partners with neighborhood centers, churches and other agencies like Meals on Wheels and More who are already working with those age 60 and older.

Each month, HOPE clients receive an 15- to 20-pound bag of groceries to supplement their existing diets. They receive items like canned vegetables and meats, cereal, pasta, and soups. Fresh produce and personal hygiene products are also included.   Through HOPE, more than 2,500 older adults receive supplemental food items each month.
