Senior Nutrition-Home Delivered Meal Program
Through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio, Neighborhood
Alliance Senior Nutrition Home Delivered Meal program delivers a monthly supplemental food box to
our Senior Nutrition Clients thanks to a federal grant received by Second Harvest. The box contains
staples such as 100% juice, cheese, cereal, rice, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, sauces,
ready-made canned entrees and milk. Clients receive these boxes hand delivered by their
Neighborhood Alliance driver.
This partnership helps further alleviate the high food insecurities being experienced by many of
these seniors. A majority of our clients are homebound and have difficulty or even an inability to get
to the grocery store or food pantries for their nutritional needs. The cereal helps those unable to
cook prepare an easy meal while the 100% juice, canned fruits and vegetables benefit the client’s
nutritional intake. The average food stamp benefit received by seniors is about $16.00 per month.
This supplemental food box helps improve the health and well-being of those clients that receive food
stamps or are running out of money due to other daily living costs.
