Manhattan's Fresh Food for Seniors program returns for 11th year
NEW YORK -- Manhattan's annual Fresh Food for Seniors program returns for its 11th year this summer.
The program offers a bag of locally grown fresh produce to seniors for just $10.
Several people stopped by Wednesday to pick up their bags at the Goddard Riverside Older Adult Center at Columbus Avenue and 88th Street.
"I think the program is fabulous. I love fresh fruits and vegetables. They're very reasonable, they're sorted well, and I just love the whole program and I'm grateful for it," Manhattan resident Jeanne Anne Karfo said.
The pay-as-you-go program began under Gale Brewer when she was Manhattan borough president. It runs through Nov. 8.
