Low-income seniors could get food delivered to their homes through a new pilot program.
This bill would create a new pilot program to help low-income elderly people get food delivered to their homes. It sets aside money for states to run projects, especially helping those in rural areas, making it easier for them to access healthy food. This would change the current system by adding a specific grant program for home delivery.
Today, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides food to low-income seniors, but there isn't a dedicated program for home delivery. After this bill, the government would set aside $10 million each year for three years (a total of $30 million) to create a pilot program. This program would allow states to apply for grants to fund projects that deliver CSFP foods directly to seniors' homes, with a focus on those in rural areas.
