Last month, we quietly celebrated a decade of our Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)!
Back in 2016, we distributed the very first CSFP boxes in Virginia, starting with just a few dozen seniors in Petersburg. Targeted to improve the health of seniors with low incomes, these boxes help supplement grocery budgets with nutritious staples like canned fruits and vegetables, proteins, cereals and more.
And today, the program reaches thousands of older adults across Central Virginia each month, helping ensure they have consistent access to the nutritious foods they need to thrive! Because we know that for many seniors living on fixed incomes, we know support from programs like this makes a meaningful difference, easing stress and creating greater stability at home.
A special thank you to the dedicated volunteers who help pack these boxes each month. Your time and compassion make it all possible!
