Why is Senior Box important?
The Senior Box Program distributes Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) food from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that is managed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to income-eligible seniors (60+). Just over 11,000 seniors in the Houston area benefit from this federally funded effort.
In addition to distributing a monthly box of shelf-stable CSFP food (valued at $50 retail) to neighbors, the Senior Box Program has expanded its outreach to include distributing produce and other health-related items to seniors both inside and outside of Harris County.
