The mobile food program assists the elderly and disabled who are unable to come to the food bank themselves to receive an emergency food supply. Once per month, the food bank offers a 3 to 5 day emergency food supply that is delivered to the home. The mobile food program is limited to the elderly or disabled who have no transportation due to a medical condition.
