Food Programs

Our Food Programs are designed to address senior hunger and nutrition challenges in Palm Beach County, where 1 in 7 seniors face food insecurity and many live in food deserts. We provide a variety of food programs to ensure seniors receive healthy, fresh, and affordable food options:

  • Buyer’s Club: Seniors can access substantial savings by purchasing food in bulk at wholesale prices from approved purveyors, making groceries more affordable than retail options.  TO ORDER (click here)
