Mercy Brown Bag Program.
For over 40 years, the volunteers at the Mercy Brown Bag Program have filled and distributed bags of fresh produce, healthy grains, canned goods, lean proteins, and more to seniors who too often go without.
Staying healthy holistically.
Food insecurity is an alarming trend that shows no sign of abating. In some areas, nearly half of all seniors are unable to make ends meet. When push comes to shove, they often choose to skip meals rather than go without other necessities – including medications. The Brown Bag Program helps alleviate this source of great stress for those seniors with nowhere else to turn.
Program statistics for 2023:
Distributed 138,000 grocery bags.
Over 8,000 hungry seniors had their needs met.
Bags collectively held 2.25 million pounds of food.
Over 500 volunteers donated more than 21,000 hours.
