Senior Hunger Food Collection for Foothill Unity Center
Introduction
Caring Transitions Angeles Foothills and several other Monrovia Businesses have begun a Food Drive benefitting Foothill Unity Center, a crucial campaign to combat senior hunger within the community. This initiative focuses on collecting non-perishable food items to support seniors and their pets who are facing food insecurity. As the senior population continues to grow, addressing this issue has become more pressing than ever.
The Importance of Addressing Senior Hunger
Senior hunger is a significant issue that affects millions of older adults across the country. Many seniors live on fixed incomes, and unexpected medical expenses or rising living costs can lead to difficult choices between paying for food or other necessities. Ensuring that seniors have access to nutritious meals is vital for their health and well-being.
