Walmart Grant Brings Technology to Food for Families/Food for Seniors
Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans' Food for Families/Food for Seniors program provides monthly nutritional food boxes to low income seniors in an effort to combat food insecurity and improve their overall health. Last year, the program distributed 26,679,480 pounds of food to 56,999 individuals across the entire state of Louisiana.
