CenterWell Home Health, one of America’s largest home health
providers, has launched its 20th annual Food Fundraising Drive, an
effort to fight food insecurity in the communities it serves.
Through Sept. 21, CenterWell Home Health branches across the
country will be collecting food and funds to benefit local food
banks in the 38 states it serves. CenterWell is also partnering
with the national organization Feeding America to offer a single
website to collect financial contributions from people wherever
they are: CenterWell Home Health - Fundraising For Feeding
America.
Over the years, CenterWell Home Health has collected and donated
more than 1.3 million meals to people in need.
According to 2022 data from Feeding America, 7 million seniors
aged 60+ are facing hunger because of food insecurity. That's 1 in
11 seniors, or 8.7% of all seniors.
“Food insecurity takes an especially heavy toll on seniors’
health and nutrition, increasing the risk of disease or worsening
existing conditions,” said Sherri Rains, BSN, RN, CWOCN, Chief
Clinical Officer for CenterWell Home Health. “As an organization
dedicated to serving seniors, CenterWell Home Health knows
firsthand the challenges they face. We want to ensure that food,
the most basic component of good health, is available to all.”
