You’ve worked your whole life. You’ve never been late on a bill and you take pride in your work. But, after an accident at work, you can’t seem to make ends meet. Being on disability is hard. After spending hours deciding which bills you are able to pay, you discover you only have $25 leftover for food and medication for the month. Then you remember the Hunger Project Grocery Store. You quickly relax knowing that you don’t have to go hungry in order to buy your medication.
The Catholic Charities Hunger Project is a program that assists individuals and families that are living on a low or fixed income. To qualify for the program, at least one person in the household has to be 50 or older or has to be receiving disability benefits. They also need to be able to show proof of income and proof of residence.
Participants are able to shop in our Grocery Store to supplement their low or non-existent food supply. Many of our clients have to sacrifice things such as medication, utilities, or rent in order to pay for food. This program helps them to keep the money they would use for food in order to pay for other necessities.
The CCHP has many volunteers who help with daily tasks in the store and make food deliveries to home-bound participants. If you would like to volunteer for this program, call us at (806) 376-4571.
