Senior Food Box Program
Our Senior Food Box Program allows for qualifying seniors to receive a monthly box of USDA food to supplement their diets. The boxes will include shelf stable items such as canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, canned meats, and cheese.
To qualify for the program, applicants must be 60 or older and within the income guidelines outlined below. If you do not qualify for this program, you can still visit food pantries in your county to receive assistance during their regular pantry hours.
How to apply
We are unable to accept applications by phone. Participants apply in person and, if they qualify, are given a food box that same day.
​
If you live in or near Victoria, please apply in person at 3809 E. Rio Grande on the following days:
​Monday through Friday:
8:30am-noon and 1:30pm-4:00pm
If you live in a county that currently has a Senior Food Box distribution, please apply in person on the distribution day after 10:00am.
