At our senior living complex, Silverwood Casitas, we have an in-person "grab and go" food pantry where our residents can take everyday shelf-stable healthy food supplies whenever they needed them to supplement their groceries and food box donations. Because these residents live on very limited incomes, sometimes their food budget doesn't stretch far enough. Would you or your group like to hold a small food drive or fund drive (where you donate funds and we can purchase fresh foods)? We'd love your help and can work out all the details together.
