Home Delivery Program
Due to health and lack of mobility, many seniors are physically unable to visit a Target Hunger pantry.  The home delivery program provides food services to these clients and also provides case management services.  This program helps Target Hunger to identify problem areas that are affecting the senior’s ability to maintain their independent living.  The program can currently accommodate up to 220 seniors.

Adopt A Route Program
The Target Hunger Adopt-A-Route Program partners with companies, church groups, and organizations that assist with delivering groceries and monitoring the well-being of homebound seniors and/or disabled clients. Companies, churches and other organizations make a six or twelve-month commitment to deliver food to clients on an assigned route.  An assigned route may consist of 8-15 homes. Deliveries are generally made on Fridays or Saturdays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  The Adopt-A-Route program enables Target Hunger to provide service to the increasing numbers of seniors who would otherwise be placed on a waiting list.

Senior Day Site Program
Target Hunger delivers groceries to eleven local senior citizen activity centers.  These centers provide daytime activities to encourage and support senior independence and self-enrichment in local residents over the age of 55.  Volunteers are needed to help with distributing food, providing “fun” days like bingo and canasta, and coordinating special holiday celebrations.  The program serves approximately 500 seniors each month.

Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program
In a collaborative with Sheltering Arms Senior Services, Target Hunger assists low income seniors (+60), families with young children, and the disabled, with the payment of gas and electricity bills, when funding is available. Recipients of these funds must qualify by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services minimum income standards.
This federally funded program helps clients with multiple chronic health conditions that makes keeping cool during hot summers and warm during cold winters a life-saving necessity. They are also typically homebound and therefore unable to go to city cooling centers or other air conditioned public places during the hot summer months.
