Everyday Eats

Food for low income seniors.

Everyday Eats is tailored specifically to meet common senior nutrition needs. Seniors 60 years and older whose gross monthly household income is at or below the guidelines below can also qualify for Everyday Eats. Everyday Eats boxes, sometimes referred to as “senior boxes,” are distributed to individuals once per month.

Through our Food Share program, we distribute food provided by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Learn more about this program and confirm current eligibility requirements here.

Seniors they can pair the box with their SNAP benefits for even more nutritious foods. Anyone who qualifies for this program also qualifies for SNAP as income limits are similar.

At this time, we are at the capacity allotted and allowed for CSFP clients and are not enrolling new clients for this program.

Contact us if you have questions about the timeline or to inquire about a waiting list.

Who qualifies:

The two qualifications for Everyday Eats are:

  1. Aged 60 years or older, and

We are different together.

At FBLC we are not all the same. And that is our greatest strength. We draw from our differences of who we are, what we have experienced, and how we think. We cultivate a dynamic and diverse work environment, one that plays a critical role in our ambitious work to end hunger, so we believe in including everyone.

FBLC is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws and ordinances in the provisions of its programs, services, or activities to include discrimination against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in a discrimination investigation or lawsuit.

FBLC’s management team is dedicated to this policy with respect to recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, training, compensation, benefits, employee activities, access to facilities, and programs and general treatment during employment.

We embrace a philosophy that recognizes and values diversity.

Our goal is to attract, develop, retain, and promote a talented diverse workforce in a culture where all employees will contribute to their fullest potential.
