Ed's Favorite ACL Activity!

We had the opportunity to join Apple Corps Leader (ACL) Ed Siteman on his Senior Box Home Delivery route. He tells us about how he is able to see the impact of his volunteerism first-hand and why that makes this his favorite volunteer project.
The Senior Box Home Delivery program provides a monthly box of food to low-income seniors to improve the health, nutrition, and well-being of their lives. The Senior Box Program distributes Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) food from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that is managed by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to income-eligible seniors (60+). Just over 11,000 seniors in the Houston area benefit from this federally funded effort. In addition to distributing a monthly box of shelf-stable CSFP food (valued at $50 retail) to clients, the Senior Box Program has expanded its outreach to include distributing produce and other health-related items to seniors both inside and outside of Harris County.
Currently, Houston Food Bank's Home Delivery Program provides over 70 routes that consist of 10 stops each while utilizing your personal vehicle. Volunteers may choose from any route in Harris County or the surrounding areas.
