CLEVELAND: Boxes of food and supplies will be\/were distributed to Cuyahoga County residents age 60 and older during a \u201cGreat Grocery Giveaway\u201d<\/em> at 10 a.m. on April 12, 2023 at the Western Campus of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C\u00ae<\/sup>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sponsored by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging (WRAAA),<\/em> the event is part of a larger effort to fill food security gaps in the community. One in six U.S. seniors lives with the daily threat of hunger and malnourishment, leaving them prone to acute or chronic illnesses that could drastically reduce their life expectancy.<\/p>\n

Each box includes approximately $80 worth of groceries and essential supplies. Contents may include items such as pasta, spaghetti sauce, rice and beans, peanut butter, jelly, bread and household cleaning items. Boxes are limited to one per person.<\/em><\/p>\n[Questions? \u00a0Call 216-586-3747 or email\u00a0greatgrocerygiveaway@areaagingsolutions.org<\/a>\u00a0for more information.]\n

\u201cMany seniors are living on the edge of poverty,\u201d said E. Douglas Beach, CEO of WRAAA.<\/em> \u201cAs inflation challenges homes already struggling to pay bills, the elderly are having a particularly hard time putting food on the table. The fervent hope is that this program eases some of the daily struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Western Campus is located at 11000 Pleasant Valley Road in Parma.<\/p>\n

The Great Grocery Giveaway<\/em> is a community service opportunity for the Tri-C community and part of a week of\u00a0events leading up to the inauguration of Michael A. Baston as Tri-C’s fifth president on Friday, April 14.<\/em>\u00a0Visit Tri-C\u2019s inauguration webpage for information.<\/a><\/p>\n
