Senior Box Program

The Senior Box Program in Houston, TX, is dedicated to supporting income-eligible seniors aged 60 and above by providing essential food assistance through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) managed by the Texas Department of Agriculture. This federally-funded initiative ensures that over 11,000 local seniors receive nutritious meal boxes each month, helping to alleviate food insecurity and promote health among the elderly population. To join this vital program, seniors can visit Bethel's Heavenly Hands, where they can inquire about Senior Box Day and complete their application, which only requires age, income, and residency information without the need for proof. While every effort is made to serve qualifying seniors, it’s important to note that those exceeding the monthly caseload may be placed on a waiting list. This program aims to make a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors in the Houston area by delivering key resources to those in need.
