In partnership with Community Action Coalition, the Jefferson Community Foundation, and DoorDash, the Jefferson Food Pantry is excited to offer a senior food delivery program called Stockbox DoorDash. The program provides income-eligible seniors with an opportunity to receive home delivery of a FREE Stockbox each month. Learn more about Stockbox.
Stockbox DoorDash is a pilot program with capacity to serve up to 50 eligible seniors each month. The Jefferson Food Pantry is testing the viability of a home-delivery option for the Stockbox to ensure all eligible seniors have access to healthy, shelf-stable foods they need. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many seniors no longer feel safe or do not have access to pick-up locations or senior dining sites they previously relied upon. Stockbox DoorDash aims to connect vulnerable seniors with additional food each month.
The Stockbox includes cereal, milk, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta or rice, protein, fruit juice, canned meat and a block of Wisconsin government cheese. Homebound seniors, or those who are unable to go to a food pantry/distribution to pick up a Stockbox, are eligible to apply for the program.
