We won't let our seniors go hungry.

No one should suffer from hunger in their golden years -- yet thousands of seniors turn to the Food Bank to meet their most basic need. Here's how the Alameda County Community Food Bank and our member agencies are working to ensure that everyone has access to fresh, healthy food.

Im retired in Danbury, CT. Living on a fixed income, is always challenging. I always go over budget. Let's face it, necessity, is the mother of invention.We now get, an extra amount of food stamps at the end of every month, and then. , food stamps on the first. It's so helpful.

Please tell them about "Community Refrigerators" too...that will help them with food & other things too...I've read that they are in every community & some are stocked by malls & other local shops that have overstock or items that haven't sold & some say they are stocked by the members of the community, where they have things they don't need, they place them in the refrigerators for free.

Thank you soo much for providing for them. God bless you 👏

In my country old people get their pension based on their wages while active and their working years. Pensioners who worked full time their whole life actually make alright pension payments. People who worked part-time a lot or did not work enough years get less. Those are the people bitching about being poor. They also had to work less years than we do. For older generations it is common to retire at age 50-55 (i will have to work til 65 at least) and they will live longer too so some may receive pensions for over 30 years! I have no pity for them.

[@Arzeena1990]

Also we have a good health care system so they don't pay for medical care or medication from their pension.

But if i wasn't still working at 73 i would be very hungry. prices in the grocery store rise all the time because of the worthless millinneal demands. And they get it. Only care is price of gas. I have to pay those ever rising prices. No one cares, not about us seniors.

Not sure where you are running into all these poor seniors. I live in a small town in western Nebraska and am surrounded by senior retirees. They are all rich. One couple in back of me just vacationed in Italy. In 2020 they are going to Australia. I'm a senior myself and not as rich as my neighbors. I do have a nice surplus of money every month and paid the house off in 2001. See no reason why any senior boomer should be poor.

[@karencarpenter5845]

California rent and cost of living is very different than Nebraska.

[@effytraveler6155]

Seems you live in a well off town. Go to a town that is run mostly with poverty, and that won't be the case. Find out that there are seniors without money as every generation has a number of people not well off to travel.
