Senior Grocery Program

The issue of nutritional adequacy and reliable food access among senior citizens remains a pressing concern. We collaborated with Kuru Kururu Humanitarian Pillars and launched the Senior Grocery/Nutrition Program. Since October 2024, monthly distributions of groceries have been conducted and over time, as support and funding increased, so did the volume of the hampers. Monthly expenditures for grocery procurement ranged from GYD $70,000 to $100,000, enabling the teams to provide a variety of items like rice, sugar, salt, boxed dry goods, and essential toiletries. The majority of supplies were sourced from Geeta’s Mini Mart, a local retailer. We aim to consistently improve our efforts and results for the program.
