A lot of senior citizens in our area have to make tough decisions when it comes to their fixed incomes.  They have to choose to pay for medicine over food, utilities over food, and other bills over food.   When your social security payment each month won't cover basic necessities, then they have to reach out for help.  When it comes to food, the High Plains Food Bank helps out our local senior citizens and they want to continue helping out our senior neighbors.
