Many older adults face unique challenges related to hunger and food insecurity, often needing to choose between paying for medical bills, rent, or groceries.
Distributed monthly, Chester County Food Bank Senior Boxes meet the unique nutritional needs of aging adults by including foods that utilize USDA guidelines. Focusing on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, as well as reduced sodium and sugar content, they work to provide boxes with everyday foods that are filled with key nutrients for seniors.
On December 31 2022, AYLUS Main Line delivered 16 senior food boxes that have been decorated with uplifting drawings through Color Some Kindness. They brought a kind word to seniors and wished them a Happy New Year.
Volunteers (3 hrs): Steven Cui, Ethan Lai, Calvin Lai, Joe Zou, Emily Zou, Manya Gupta, Mindy Wang, Celina Zhang, Bonnie Wang, Helen Wang, Sophia Cui.
