Nourishing Seniors, Strengthening Communities

"This monthly box of food is a lifeline – a godsend."
- Judith C., Westbury

Every month, we deliver up to 8,000 free 35-pound food boxes to seniors across Long Island who need a little extra help.

If you or someone you know is 60 or older and earning $1,632/month or less, you may qualify for this vital program.

These Senior Food Boxes—part of the USDA's Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)—provide more than food. They bring hope, dignity, and connection to seniors, especially those who are homebound.

Packed with care by Island Harvest staff and volunteers, these boxes are delivered to mobile distribution centers or straight to homes—ensuring seniors have access to the nutrition they deserve.
