A host of local partners are joining the Kansas Food Bank to bring a new federal food program for low-income seniors to Barton County, said KFB Community Relations Manager Debi Kreutzman. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Commodity Supplemental Food Program will provide monthly food boxes to those age 60 and above who qualify by meeting income requirements. Distributions will start Feb. 8 and will take place at the St. Rose Health Center maintenance building, 3515 Broadway Ave. “The Commodity Supplemental Food Program serves as a safety net for low income seniors who experience food insecurity,” Kreutzman said.
