Ensuring No Senior Goes Hungry

Focused on Rowlett, Sachse & Garland, Texas

No senior in Garland, Rowlett, or Sachse should go hungry.

With community support, we can ensure every older adult has access to the food and dignity they deserve. 

  1. Why Senior Nutrition Matters
    • Health and independence
    • Mental well-being
  2. The Local Challenge: Food Insecurity Among Seniors
    • In the DFW area, nearly 120,000 seniors aged 60+ face food insecurity.
    • Seniors account for approximately 18% of the food-insecure population regionally.
    • Older adults in Rowlett, Sachse, and Garland are at heightened risk due to fixed incomes, mobility issues, and limited transportation.
  3. Barriers Seniors Face
    • Fixed Incomes: It’s often a struggle to afford both essentials and nutritious food.
    • Mobility & Transportation: Grocery stores, food pantries, and senior centers may be difficult to access.
    • Awareness & Enrollment: Programs like SNAP can be hard to navigate, so many eligible seniors miss out.
    • Isolation: Seniors living alone may lack support systems to access food assistance.
