Your Help Needed with Project Blizzard Box

Project Blizzard Box provides an emergency, shelf-stable meal for homebound seniors to use if inclement weather prevents the routine delivery of home-delivered meals. Your help is needed to fund this project which is sponsored by Tioga Opportunities, Inc., and the Department of Aging Services.

Due to an unusually high need for emergency meals last year, and the possible risks associated with Y2K in the year 2000, the sponsors would like to provide each senior with at least six days worth of hot meals. Each $20 donation will provide a senior citizen with days worth of shelf stable, nutritionally balanced emergency meals.

For more information on how you can support Project Blizzard Box, call Mary Vivona, Nutrition Coordinator, at 687-4120.
