Older adults often face unique challenges - like health conditions, transportation problems, limited income and social isolation - that make getting the food they need difficult. That's why we're so grateful to Sisters of Mercy for generously donating to our senior food program. Thanks to their investment, we'll be able to provide 120,000 meals to Sacramento County seniors in need.

Next month, one of our longtime donors, John Daly, will be playing in the annual Capital Cup golf tournament on our behalf. John, who's been donating to SFBFS since the early 1990s, shared more about what drew him to us all those years ago. We're honored to have him representing us out on the course and are wishing him the best of luck. Hit 'em straight! To contribute to John's fundraising efforts, visit https://lnkd.in/gUXNSAin.

With the support of AARP, we were able to make this video sharing how Denise has benefited from CalFresh. Denise's positive experience will undoubtedly break down barriers and encourage other eligible community members to apply. We're thankful that AARP shares our commitment to connecting more families and individuals with this valuable anti-hunger program.
