- Cereal (they get milk from the food bank)
- Canned vegetables, like corn and green beans
- Canned mixed vegetables (They hand out a vegetable soup recipe with the canned vegetables).
- Easy to open and easy to cook foods. Microwave foods are welcome because we try to give a microwave to those moving into housing . Also, cans with pop-top lids, which are easier for "old hands" to open.
Justa Center provides life-sustaining resources, services, and support to assist homeless seniors on their path back to housing, and supportive services to help prevent seniors from becoming homeless. Justa Center moves into housing an average of 15 seniors/month. They have housed 81 seniors this year of 2024. Justa sends out 140-150 food bags/week. They have Ambassadors that visits EVERY SENIOR who is in housing EVERY WEEK. The ambassadors take the food bags to the seniors and talk with them about how things are going, what special help they need, etc. The ambassadors also look around to see if they are taking their meds, if there are things that need intervention (like bugs in the apartment), offer rides to doctor appointments and such. The ambassador program helps lead to a very high success rate -Justa Center has a 92% retention rate for the seniors that they put in housing.
