Food for Seniors Box Program

The Arkansas Foodbank’s Food for Seniors Program works to improve nutritious food access for senior neighbors facing food insecurity across our 33-county service area. By leveraging a network of community partners, the program addresses food insecurity among older adults and helps ensure seniors have access to the food and resources they need to thrive.

What is the qualifying age to participate in the Food for Seniors program?

Participants must be 60 years of age or older to qualify for the Food for Seniors Program.

Is the AR Foodbank Senior Food Distribution Program the same thing as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)?
