MEDFORD, Ore. -- Over 3,900 seniors in your town need a hot meal once a week.
Food & Friends provides seniors a hot meal at 17 locations in Jackson and Josephine County.
The volunteer drivers deliver about 15,000 meals each month to individuals living independently at home, who, for health reasons, cannot make their own meals.
An additional 4,000 meals are served each month at our 12 congregate senior dining sites with the help of our volunteers.
"Last year we served a total of 238,384 meals to approximately 3,900 people in Jackson and Josephine Counties," said Jan Yost, the Volunteer Coordinator.
Food and Friends has 370 volunteers, but with the growing number of seniors that need a hot meal, the organization needs more volunteers to serve those in need.
