Food for Families / Food for Seniors

Food for Families / Food for Seniors, a program of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans in Saint Amant, LA, is dedicated to supporting eligible seniors through vital food assistance and nutrition education. Each month, we provide nutritious food boxes filled with essential items like canned meats, fruits, vegetables, pasta, and dairy products, ensuring seniors not only receive emergency food but also learn how to maintain a balanced diet. Our educational resources offer practical tips on meal preparation and budgeting, empowering those we serve to stretch their food dollars effectively. We believe in fostering healthy eating habits while ensuring that every senior in our community has access to the nourishment they need to thrive. To enroll in our program and access these valuable resources, interested individuals can complete the Preliminary Certification application form available online.
