EAC Network Receives Grant for New Fresh from the Garden Senior Initiative
Lance W. Elder, Carol O'Neill, and David M. Okorn
Many residents in New Cassel living below the federal poverty line have limited access to fresh food at a reasonable price. EAC Network’s new Fresh from the Garden Senior Initiative aims to identify seniors 60 years of age or older who are at high nutritional risk and provide them with access to seasonal fresh produce, nutrition education, and cooking demonstrations.
“We are so thankful to LICF for supporting our new initiative,” said Carol O’Neill, Senior Director of Senior & Nutritional Services at EAC Network. “Struggling seniors in New Cassel will finally have a reliable source of fresh nutritional food that is imperative to their health.”
The Fresh from the Garden Senior Initiative will launch this spring.
For more information on the Fresh from the Garden Senior Initiative, please contact Carol O’Neill at (516) 539-0150 x220 or Carol.Oneill@eac-network.org.
