How to Reach Us

A substantial number of our community’s most vulnerable people regularly experience hunger because they cannot physically access neighborhood food banks and meal programs. This problem is particularly severe among public housing residents for whom age, disability, serious illness and extreme poverty, as well as language and culture issues, create tremendous barriers to getting emergency food.

Food Security for Seniors coordinates weekly grocery deliveries at three Seattle Housing Authority buildings to 100 to 125 seniors and people with disabilities who are at high risk for hunger. The program connects vulnerable and isolated adults with community resources that can support basic sustenance and improved health, nutrition and wellness. In addition it can identify and intervene among vulnerable seniors who are failing to thrive or otherwise experiencing a decline in health and wellness.
