Rural Food Delivery
The Rural Food Delivery program is for customers living in Saratoga County who are elderly and/or disabled and homebound.
Customers can request this service or be referred by different human service agencies. Applicants are accepted into the program by a LifeWorks’ Navigator after an application review and interview.
Volunteers deliver food packages right to customers’ doors twice per month, except July and August which are once per month.
This program is run in collaboration with the Presbyterian-New England Congregational Church in Saratoga Springs.
