More than 5,000 seniors in Northeast Florida are on a wait list for hunger-relief assistance. Each day they’re forced to make heart-breaking choices: choosing between buying medicine or groceries or between eating lunch or dinner.
You can help us solve this urgent and growing crisis – with double the impact.
To meet this acute need and help honor ElderSource’s 50th anniversary of serving seniors in our area, Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds are generously matching every donation up to $50,000.
Funding will be used to purchase home-delivered meals, also known as Meals-on-Wheels.
With your help, we can provide $100,000 toward feeding low-income seniors in our seven-county service area.
- $20 becomes $40 and feeds an older adult for two days
- $60 becomes $120 and feeds an older adult for six days
- $100 becomes $200 and feeds an older adult for 10 days

This is the first time in our five decades that we’ve made a direct ask like this to ensure our clients get the nourishment they need. Our hungry seniors don’t have time to wait. Please help us feed and care for more local seniors today!
