Since the pandemic began, they’ve had more than 4,000 people sign up to receive food, and at the same time, their volunteer base has decreased dramatically due to health concerns and schedule changes.

In partnership with federal and state agencies, Focus: HOPE provides more than 42,000 seniors with monthly food packages to help meet basic needs. They also provide opportunities to obtain health screenings, income support, tax preparation and utility assistance. Please click here for more information.
