Pantry On Wheels

The Food Resources Pantry On Wheels began delivering food to low-income senior communities in October of 2003. Since that time over 100,000 pounds of food has been delivered to more than 290 senior and disabled individuals. Our concept is to deliver approximately 20 pounds of nutritious food to each household once each month. To the greatest extent possible each household receives the same amount and types of food. The operating cost of the program is much higher than a traditional food bank, for that reason a suggested contribution of $5.00 is accepted from those households that are financially able and willing to donate. Those households which cannot or do not choose to donate to the program but want the food, receives the food.

The seniors are loosely grouped together geographically. They are encouraged to interact and work together in managing the program in their area. Many of the Pantry On Wheels members seem quite pleased to be part of the Food Resources family.
