Project Blizzard Box Needs Your Help

 It's time to plan ahead to be sure that our homebound seniors are prepared for the winter season. Tioga Opportunities, Inc, Department of Aging Services, is requesting your help in funding project Blizzard Box.

 Blizzard Boxes are shelf stable emergency meals that are provided to each of our home delivered meals recipients at the beginning of the winter season. Blizzard Boxes is a way to assure that the seniors served by Aging Services have food to eat even if inclement weather prevents their routine meal delivery.

 Each $10 donation will provide a senior with a box of five days' worth of nutritionally balanced emergency meals. Donations in any amount will be appreciated.

 For more information, call 687-4120.
