A Servant's Love, Inc. (ASL) is a nonprofit organization focused on providing food security to underserved senior citizens. The Senior Nutrition & Wellness Program (SNWP) is a food assistance program that offers the "Extra Touch" needed by some seniors, to help them remain independent. Through this program, qualified seniors are assured a gift of food, provided with age-appropriate educational information, and treated with dignity and respect. Specific criteria about SNWP are:
· Qualified participants must be 60 years of age or older
· Participants qualify based on income
· Scheduled monthly assistance to pre-qualified participants
A Servant’s Love (ASL) serves nearly 1100 food insecure senior citizens and family members annually through its 3 nutritional initiatives (Senior Nutrition & Wellness Program, Harvest-of-Hope Empowerment Garden and Holiday Giving). Each month 50-75 volunteers generously share their time.
