SERVICE OVERVIEW

Food insecurity is one of the most pressing issues in Lorain County.  While many wonder where their next meal will come from, seniors are particularly at risk, especially if they lack reliable transportation.

We offer the following programs to assist residents 60 years of age and older with their food needs:

  • Home Delivered Meals – This program has been transitioned to Neighborhood Alliance.  Please click here to view their services.
  • Restaurant Voucher Program – Clients can receive up to twelve (12) vouchers a month to be used at the Blue Sky Restaurant locations in Amherst or Elyria.  Program participants select a meal from a pre-approved special menu designed by a registered dietitian while having the opportunity to socialize with one another. Tipping the server is the only required cost for clients.
  • Senior Food Box Program – This program funded by Second Harvest Food Bank provides a once-a-month box of nutritious, shelf-stable items to eligible Lorain County residents.
  • Emergency Food Pantry – Located at both the Main and Northeast locations, please call ahead for hours and eligibility requirements.

The programs listed above have little to no cost requirements for the clients receiving these benefits, however, donations are always appreciated.
