Did you know roughly 5.2 million older Americans are food insecure?

I'm working with JASA, the go-to nonprofit serving older New Yorkers, to raise awareness about food insecurity among older adults.

JASA supports and partners with more than 40,000 seniors and their families each year, empowering older adults to age safely in their own homes and communities, connected to the people, places, and things that give the meaning.

JASA provides over 1 million meals to older New Yorkers every year. With inflation, the need continues to grow. We need your help to make sure no senior has to worry about their next meal, especially during the holidays.

$11.78 provides one meal to a senior at risk of hunger. This year, as a JASANextGen volunteer, I have pledged to raise $500 and provide over 40 meals to NYC seniors. JASANextGen is a volunteer advocacy program led by us, the next generation to educate and advocate on issues relating to older adults. We join monthly meetings to learn about a range of topics from food insecurity to elder abuse, help raise critical funds, take lead in volunteer projects, and participate in mini-internships. It’s been such a rewarding experience!

YOU can help provide meals to seniors in need this holiday season and I hope you’ll support me in my fundraising efforts!
