SPECTRUM GENERATIONS MAKING PLANS TO FEED MORE LOW INCOME RESIDENTS
SPECTRUM GENERATONS’ William S. Cohen Community Center, today announced that, in collaboration with the Good Shepherd Food Bank, the Augusta Food Bank and the State of Maine, the center is developing plans to offer a new program that would provide low-income residents, 60 years and older with approximately 30 pounds of FREE food each month. Lynda Johnson, Nutrition Coordinator, states, “We recognize that times are tough, especially for those over the age of 60 and on fixed incomes. We anticipate the success of this new “Food Bank” will help hundreds of residents in Central Maine.”
The program will offer shelf stable foods such as pasta, tuna and peanut butter to those recipients meeting income eligibility requirements. Pick up of the donated commodities will be the sole responsibility of the recipient at a predetermined location and time each month.
If you would like more information or to see if you qualify for this program, please call Lynda Johnson, Nutrition Coordinator at the Cohen Community Center at 626-7777.
