Imagine $139 Being the Difference Between Getting Healthy Food or Going Without

When we think of gratitude, we think of Carol.

Carol has a limited income and lives alone. She’s also diabetic and needs to eat healthy to keep her chronic condition under control. Once her bills are paid every month, there’s very little left for food. 

And yet, she told us, “I’m so grateful.”

Why? Because NCOA connected her to the support she deserves.

With our help, Carol applied for a food assistance program that added $139 to her monthly budget.

“I wasn’t able to buy fresh fruits and vegetables,” Carol said. “Now I can make healthier food choices and live a healthier life.”

This Thanksgiving season, show your gratitude for people like Carol by helping more older adults afford nutritious food and make ends meet.
