Second Harvest Food Bank will host a community-wide food drive this April to raise awareness for senior food insecurity and hunger.
April is Senior Hunger Awareness Month, and Second Harvest says that 23 percent of seniors in Louisiana, about one-in-four, face the threat of hunger.
âMany seniors live on a fixed income. They skip meals or choose between buying groceries or paying their rent or utility bills, or even medication,â said Paul Scelfo, Regional Director of Second Harvest Food Bank. âThis can create serious health implications.
