Food for Families / Food for Seniors

Food for Families / Food for Seniors, part of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to seniors in Ruston, LA. Our monthly program offers nutritional food boxes filled with vital staples such as canned meats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, ensuring that our valued participants have access to nutritious meals. Alongside the food boxes, we empower seniors with practical nutrition education, covering topics like healthy recipes, budgeting for groceries, and maintaining a balanced diet. Our mission is not just to alleviate hunger but to foster independence and well-being within our community. If you or someone you know needs assistance, enrollment is simple with our accessible Preliminary Certification application, allowing you to join us in embracing a healthier lifestyle together.
