Food Assistance

Senior Commodities

Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) is a federal program that works to improve the health of low-income seniors by supplementing diets with nutritious USDA food. For many seniors in our community, improper diet may lead to major health concerns. Malnutrition contributes to a weakened immune system, loss of bone mass and muscle weakness (which contributes to falls and fractures), and a slower response to wound healing.

Stop by Today for Your Application & Food Box!

Each supplemental food box contains milk, cheese, juice, canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat and plant-based proteins, starches, cereals, etc... You may pick up a box once each month, in addition to using our Client Choice food room. There is no charge to participate.

USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

    True Story

    Dave & Beth

    "

    Everyone says it can happen to anyone and when Dave got hurt on the job, our whole life changed. We went from mostly okay each month to barely scraping by. Our neighbor suggested Family Service to us. They helped us keep our place making an overdue rent payment until the disability kicked in. Even now, they keep helping. Our lives are better because of Family Service-thank you!
