A note to all new participants: please bring your letter from the Social Security Administration. The line that reads: “Your new monthly amount (before deductions) is xxx.xx.” The amount is listed and this is what determines eligibility for Commodity Food.  Participants are no longer allowed to use deposit slips, copied checks or bank account statements. You may bring pay stubs and pension information that applies to you.  Residents must be age 60 or over to participate in the program. If you have any questions, please call the Caleb Office.
