In Bastrop, LA, Food for Families / Food for Seniors, a vital initiative of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans, is dedicated to supporting eligible seniors by providing essential food assistance through monthly nutritional food boxes. Each box is thoughtfully packed with nutritious items such as canned meats, fresh vegetables, fruits, breakfast cereals, American cheese, pasta or rice, shelf-stable non-fat milk, and more, ensuring that our seniors receive balanced meals to support their health. Beyond food provision, we are committed to empowering our seniors with nutritional education, offering insights like easy recipes and advice on how to budget effectively for healthy eating. If you or someone you know is in need of emergency food resources, we invite you to enroll by completing the Preliminary Certification application form available online.
