Stop Senior Hunger

Did you know that… 1 in 9 senior citizens are at risk of hunger? 30% of local seniors that receive assistance from GRADD (Green River Area Development District) have to choose between buying food or getting medical care? 35% of our local seniors that receive assistance from GRADD have to choose between buying food or paying for utilities?
