Brown Bag Program
This food program is a partnership with the Capital Area Community Food
Bank. It offers seniors on a fixed income the ability to supplement their
existing food budget through the distribution of nutritious nonperishable
food items and toiletries.
Participants receive a minimum of one bag of supplemental
food and toiletries each month. Participants pick up their distributions
on the third Tuesday
of the month at the GAIL office – 25 Crescent Road on the second
floor. Green Ridge House residents pickup their bags in the lobby of
the building and homebound residents have their bags delivered to their
door. The goal of this program is to offer seniors the opportunity to
get out of their homes and socialize in addition to supplementing their
diet. For a $10.00 donation, you receive 12 bags of groceries over the course
of the year at a cost of 83 cents per bag. Income guidelines do apply.
If you would like to receive an application and learn more about the
Brown Bag Program, please call Community Resource Advocate at 301-474-8000
ext. 2012.
