Home Repair Client Grateful

LCS HOME program specialists provide senior citizens with basic home repairs so they can remain independent. Last week we received a nice note from one, a 93 year old woman:  “Thank you for sending Ray to replace my screen door! He is very careful and extremely particular with his work. I watched him work and saw what a great, meticulous craftsman he is.” The majority of HOME clients are widowed women. They are a very vulnerable population, and we are pleased to be able to help them.

LCS Works With Food Bank to Roll Out New Programs

When the Food Bank of Delaware came to us with the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) we couldn’t wait to get started. The CSFP is a federal USDA food program that is designed to improve the health of low income senior citizens. To develop a distribution strategy, LCS contacted Macedonia Baptist Church, which is housed in the Old Asbury Church at 2nd and Walnut Streets in Wilmington, along with the LCS FAITH Center. Within weeks they started regular distributions at several sites in Wilmington. LCS also helped facilitate getting CSFP programs started at Luther Towers.
