BVFB’s Senior Outreach Program

 

For senior citizens ages 65 and older and fall within income guidelines, help is on the way when it comes to putting nutritious food on the table. 

 

Bridge Ministry of Burton Texas is partnering with the Brazos Valley Food Bank to bring their Senior Outreach Program to Burton. Each week, participating seniors will receive a bag of food that contains (for example) one serving of oatmeal, two juices, one serving of cereal, two milks, two fruits, two vegetables, one nutritional shake, two proteins, one pudding, and two easy-to-prepare meals (like soup or Easy Mac n Cheese). There is no cost to participate in this free program.

 

If you are a senior citizen who qualifies based on age and income, and you want to receive a weekly bag of food, contact the Bridge office at 979-337-3370.
