Seniors who lack proper nutrition are at a higher risk of health problems and chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and decreased resistance to infections. The CSFP is a USDA program that provides nutritious food to more than 3,300 eligible low-income seniors 60 years of age or older in Miami-Dade County. Food boxes are distributed once a month at designated sites. View non-discrimination statement, here.

These food boxes are specifically designed to supplement the nutrients typically lacking in Seniors’ diets. Food boxes are provided to select partner sites for monthly distribution to qualifying older adults struggling to make ends meet.

Many older adults are homebound due to the inability to drive, lack of transportation, or the inability to travel by themselves.
