Senior Food Boxes

Thanks to Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh and the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank, LU is excited to offer low-income seniors with a monthly box of food delivered to your house. The boxes will include canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, beans, cereal, pasta, bottled juice, shelf-stable milk, canned meat and 2 pounds of cheese. The next delivery will be on 5/13/20.

Application

Please complete this form to apply. Currently, the food bank is waiving proof of income and ID requirement. Forms must be turned in by Monday 5/4 to Buddies@LUnited.org to receive a box on 5/13. Applicants can also call 412.802.7220 to complete it by phone. Every two years, participants have to re-certify by providing updated income information. If you have someone that you’d like to authorize to re-certify you, please list that person as the “caretaker.”

Eligibility

To qualify, individuals must be 60 years or older with incomes less than 130% of the federal poverty guidelines (see chart below or click here).
