Hungry to Help Sponsored Meal Program

HUNGRY_TO_HELP_ColorWEBSITE

Whether you are an individual, club, business or Sunday School class, your donation to the Hungry to Help sponsored meal program can make a life-changing difference for our elderly.

Many homebound elderly 60+ are too frail to shop for food and physically unable to prepare their own meals. Because of disabilities such as arthritis, blindness and heart disease, thousands of southeast Alabama seniors are hungry for your help.

With your donation, we can deliver nutritious meals to an elderly neighbor, a senior friend or a disabled loved one who desperately needs help. Your donations may also be made in general or to a specific senior center or county.

In some cases, the homebound elderly live in rural areas outside the delivery area of a senor center. Other times, the senior center may not have the staff or volunteers needed to deliver the number of meals required. For situations like these, the meal vendor offers weekly delivery of a seven-pack frozen meal directly to the senior's door.

If you would like to sponsor a particular homebound senior, please contact the senior center nearest the person's home. The senior center will be able to assist you with information and enrollment. If you would like to become a meal sponsor in general or need information about the nearest center, please contact our Hungry to Help Coordinator at SARCOA (334) 793-6843 or (800) 239-3507, or donate online at (paypal link).
