FEED our Elders.
Stop the proposed cuts in the Elderly feeding program.
Why is this important?
The City of Long Beach is cutting funding for a daily hot lunch program which feeds approximately 100+ elderly residents at local parks. This will cause a hardship for many who are not able to travel long distances to get a meal and often are on a fixed income with limited food resources. This will lead to more senior citizens experiencing unnecessary hunger.
I have heard from a reliable source that the more phone calls that go to the City council regarding this issue, the more likely that funding will not be cut for this particular program, at this time the elderly clients do not picket or lobby to encourage council to vote for a continuance in City support.
AHS is the non profit who is losing funding for four daily park feeding centers. If funding is cut more than 120+ seniors may go without a hot meal each day.
