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.
