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.
- Why Senior Nutrition Matters
- Health and independence
- Mental well-being
- 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.
- 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.

💙 Serving Side by Side: Kiwanis + Salvation Army = Double the Impact
Posted by NEDC Kiwanis | July 25, 2025
Big things are happening for the North East Dallas Kiwanis Club! Next month, our club meetings will take place at —the Garland Salvation Army at 451 W Avenue D, Garland, TX.
This is a powerful partnership.
The Garland Salvation Army does incredible work across North Texas—serving meals, supporting families in crisis, and offering programs for kids, seniors, and those in need. As a club dedicated to serving the world one child and one community at a time, it made perfect sense to team up with folks who share our heart for service.
What does this mean for our members and guests?
A chance to see firsthand the impact being made locally
New volunteer opportunities that align with our mission
And yep—still the same warm fellowship and purpose-driven meetings you know and love!
Together, we’re not just talking about making a difference—we’re showing up and doing it.
We attended the 5 Loaves Fundraising Gala
District Convention in Granbury, Texas
