Distribution is April 20 for eligible LWers
CAP FOOD
Free food is available in Leisure World to eligible residents who are 60 years or older through Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC), which has a monthly distribution site by Clubhouse 4. The next food distribution will be April 20. Distributions are on the third Thursday of the month.
The pick-up process has changed. Rather than driving up to the food truck, people should park, check in and retrieve their box of food from the Art Room in Clubhouse 4.
Every third Thursday from 9-11 a.m., qualified people receive 32 pounds of food, including cereal, juice, peanut butter, milk, canned vegetables, fruit, soup and cheese. Qualified residents will receive their food the same day.
Eligible seniors must live in Leisure World, be at least 60 years of age and meet income guidelines as follows: up to $1,473 a month for one person; $1,984 for a two-person household; and $2,495 for a three-person household.
To sign up, bring a photo ID and proof of income (Social Security/ SSI statement, letter or bank statement or paycheck stub). People who are unable to apply themselves or pick up the food may send a proxy to act on their behalf with appropriate ID.
