The Idaho Potato Commission has partnered with Meals On Wheels to help spread the word about the growing issue of senior hunger in America. The IPC has already made sizeable donations of potatoes to this effort and will be making additional food donations throughout their journey.
The overwhelming majority of our
seniors live on $1,000 or less of
monthly income.
Feeding Seniors
Alameda County Meals on Wheels is a collaboration of the six Meals on Wheels programs in Alameda County that provide warm, home delivered meals to over 2,200 seniors each delivery day. Many of the seniors served live alone or are recovering from illness, and the nutritious meals and daily companionship provided by Meals on Wheels staff and volunteers keep these seniors living independently and with dignity in their own homes.
More than 2/3 of our seniors
live alone.
Nationally,
1 in 9 seniors experience hunger
each day.
