“A place where no Senior will ever walk alone”
THE SENIORS TABLE
Program 13
“Build communities that are united through food”
Food serves multiple purposes for people both young and old: nutrition, sustenance, community connections and more. As we age, questions of access to quality nutrition and our ability or willingness to make healthy, smart food choices become even more important. How might our ideas help people access the healthy food they need, make good food decisions or create a community that is united through food?
Attention: A complete list of restaurants, foodbanks, food outlets, etc. that cater to seniors will be provided in the:

HUNGER RESEARCH
The facts about food insecurity.
Food banks are an important method of addressing this need. Each month, millions of people turn to food banks for help; more than one-third is to feed children and youth.
The people who visit food banks come from all backgrounds. They include families with children, employed people whose low wages do not cover basic living essentials, individuals on social assistance, and people living on a fixed income, including seniors and people with disabilities.

Food Drives
Where and what to donate to a foodbank
If you are beginning to organize such an event, it’s important that you do so in conjunction with your local food bank. Your “Senior’s Table” member can provide advice on food safety, what types of items to accept or refuse, and what timing makes the most sense for your event. Often, our member food banks have regularly-scheduled food drives throughout the year, and your neighborhood efforts will have the maximum effect if held in conjunction with theirs.
A hastily-organized local food drive can actually put more strain on your local food bank than you imagine. “The Senior’s Table” members maintain the highest standards of food safety, which means not every product is suitable for donation. Your local food bank will need to sort and inspect all donated items to ensure that they are absolutely safe.
The best way to support hunger-relief in your community is by making a financial donation to your local food bank, and encouraging your friends to do the same. Your local “Senior’s Table” member can then utilize the buying power of the “Senior’s Table network to acquire and ship healthy, nutritious food at deeply discounted rates. But if you do want to conduct a food drive, please only do so after reaching out to your local “Senior’s Table” member.
A Food Donation: Please make sure you follow some simple rules when collecting food.
- Collect only non-perishable food items.
- Do not collect any homemade items.
- Please keep personal care items separate from food items (i.e. mouthwash).
- No glass, please! Glass items can chip and break easily in the barrels.
- The “Senior’s Table” network of food banks commonly accepts the following items from food drives:
- Canned foods like soup, fruit or vegetables
- Fresh produce & frozen foods
- Dairy & juice within the expiration date
- Excess food from promotions & seasonal products
- Excess food from trade shows
