Access has six different locations, where qualified seniors can pick up food monthly.
Access said the pantries serve around 150 to 200 Jackson County seniors each month.
A family of two can qualify for the pantry with an income of less than $4,300 dollars a month.
Director of Food Programs Marcee Champion said, “these are maybe a little more friendly for people with mobility issues or something like that, so I think there are some benefits to it but of course, all of our pantries are open to anyone whether you’re a senior or not.”
Champion said Access is looking to expand senior food pantries in the future.
The Access Senior Fair is at the Medford Armory on April 4th.
