We need your help! The presence and spread of COVID-19 has introduced an additional challenge for our neighbors and for CEAP, and we are making necessary changes to meet the needs in our community.
CEAP will continue to serve our neighbors the same amount of meals, visits and pounds; but we will be shifting our distribution approach to limit exposure. Our food market will be going curbside by providing CEAP Essentials, a pre-packed collection of fresh food and shelf-stable items that will provide up to two weeks of food for a family of four.
Our Meals on Wheels program will be deploying frozen meals to our neighbors through a 2-week distribution delivery method with continued daily check-ins via phone from our Meals on Wheels Coordinator.
CEAP recognizes that many of our neighbors with low or unstable incomes will be hit hardest by this pandemic; many of CEAP’s participants cannot financially afford to stay away from work for a two-week quarantine period. CEAP also serves a large population of immunocompromised people who will be even more vulnerable during this time.
CEAP is doing everything we can, but we desperately need the help of our community to make this possible.
Please help us support your neighbors during this emergency! $50 can provide a box of emergency food to a family of four. Your donation is critical: www.ceap.org/donate
