Our take written by Old Brooklyn Free Pantry Finder
GCFB's senior markets deliver free produce and perishable food to senior-specific locations such as apartment complexes and senior centers, and its senior page describes CSFP as a USDA program of monthly food assistance for low-income seniors. For children it lists weekend Backpack for Kids food, summer feeding and a school partnership that provides food for the whole family.
The 8 sites on GCFB's map with senior in their name appear below with their hours and notes; one of them, Garfield Heights Senior Center, has a note that asks for an appointment and names ZIP codes.
