Today’s Date: 3/31/2016
Requested Amount: $5,000

Project Title: Senior Services Program – Senior Veggie Mobile
Project Description:

We request $5,000 to support our Senior Veggie Mobile for seniors ages 70 and up. We provide nutrition, assistance and opportunities for socialization supporting seniors to age in place.

The Senior Veggie Mobile program serves 150 senior citizens in the heart of Boynton Beach with locally grown produce delivered to the frail and elderly, 1/3 of whom are shut-ins. The friendly visit offers case managers an opportunity to check for signs of malnutrition, dehydration, dementia and to provide additional emergency assistance and referrals as needed.

The Veggie Mobile is stocked with various fruits and vegetables. Seniors are invited to come outside to the truck to \"shop\" or pick their own vegetables. Typically, they select 1-2 grocery bags of the free produce per delivery; we estimate the commercial value at $10 per bag. If they are not home or don’t feel up to coming outside, a bag with a variety of produce is left for them.

These deliveries are made by our Honey Do Team who provide assistance when asked, \"Honey, can you do this for me?\" These honey-dos may put away groceries, change light bulbs, move furniture, and more. However, the team is trained to be alert for larger issues needing to be addressed such as mental and physical concerns, landlords neglecting needed repairs or infestations.

The Senior Veggie Mobile is just one component of our comprehensive Senior Services Program which also provides cooked meals for 110 local seniors twice a week, 1/3 are delivered to shut-ins. We also offer cooking classes focusing on nutrition and chronic disease prevention, social activities, outings, transportation and other support services. Our program provides Emergency Shelter and Financial Aid support, 250 Thanksgiving baskets and Easter Hams. The Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach has been serving the community for more than 29 years.
