Currently there are 20 CSFP distribution sites with over 1,500 clients. Year to date we have distributed over 533,000 pounds of food to needy Seniors in Hidalgo County.
CSFP is a program designed to help Seniors in Hidalgo county who are 60 years of age or older. Eligible Seniors receive a bag of commodities each month to help supplement their existing food sources.
A staff trainer oversees the assortment of products in each CARE bag, ensuring a balanced diet. Nutrition information, a food guide pyramid, and easy to prepare recipes are also included.
This is a program near and dear to our hearts because it helps an often overlooked population...our Seniors. Many of our Senior clients have expressed gratitude and relief because without our bag of food they would not have had enough for food that month.
