Are you a senior citizen over 60 in need of some food? If so, the Wagener United Methodist Church in conjunction with ACTS (Area Churches Together Serving) of Aiken can help.
On the 3rd Saturday of every month, food that has been supplied by ACTS is distributed to those that qualify for this service. Along with the age limit, of course there is an income limit as well. Confirmation of your age and income is a requirement.
Apply either through the ACTS office in Aiken on Park Avenue, SW, or come to the church on the 3rd Saturday with your paperwork in hand and we will complete your application. If you qualify, food will be given to you at that time. Distribution time is 8 to 9:30 AM every month on the 3rd Saturday.
A week’s worth of food is given to each individual. For some, it stretches out to at least two weeks.
We have a wonderful group of volunteers who travel to Aiken to pick up the food and then bag it for the individual recipients. On the 3rd Saturday, volunteers then carry the bags of food to the cars for the seniors. This is a great mission and we are so pleased that God has led us to serving our local needy seniors in this way.
