Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Launches Food Distribution and Health Program for Chatham’s Minority Seniors
This year, like every year, February was designated in Chatham as “We Love Seniors” Month and though the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle didn’t know that, the organization managed to show some love to Chatham seniors anyway.
In February, the Raleigh-based nonprofit launched a free program designed to feed and educate some of the county’s most vulnerable seniors, according to Piniel Tadesse, the organization’s community health education programs coordinator. Per its website, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle seeks to “create a hunger-free and healthy community,” and serves seven counties across North Carolina, including Chatham.
