Cypress Assistance Ministries to Host Senior Food Box Distribution
On Monday, June 5 from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, Cypress Assistance Ministries will host a Senior Food Box Distribution.
This initiative is made possible by the Houston Food Bank, which has commodity boxes of shelf stable food valued at $50 from the USDA/TDA to distribute to qualified senior applicants across the Greater Houston Area. Unrestricted by zip code, qualifying seniors must be a resident of one of the following counties: Harris, Montgomery, Galveston, Brazoria, Waller, Walker, Chambers, Liberty or Fort Bend. Recipients must be 60 years of age or older, and must meet certain income qualifications.
For seniors who cannot attend this distribution event but qualify and wish to participate, qualifying seniors are welcome to appoint a family member or friend to pick up their box as an authorized representative. Simply write a letter providing permission for that individual to pick up the box on your behalf, along with the time frame that individual is authorized to act in this capacity. Sign the letter, which should accompany the representative along with valid ID and a copy of the participating senior's valid ID.
Boxes can be picked up inside the Cypress Assistance Ministries building, located at 12930 Cypress North Houston Rd, Cypress, TX 77429. To view a copy of the flyer for this initiative, please click here and pass along.
