Every senior Neighbor deserves to feel nourished, welcomed, and cared for and all of that starts with a meal.

As BakerRipley expands across Harris County, we're reaching more older adults with the meals, connection, and support they need to stay healthy and engaged.

Just $25 can feed 5 seniors a meal through our Senior Health and Wellness Centers.

Behind every dollar is a Neighbor who knows they're not alone. Give today: https://give.bakerripley.org/campaign/721515/donate

Volunteers are needed for the upcoming Pasadena Food Distribution. Whether you're helping with check-in, sorting food, or welcoming families, your time will make a meaningful impact. Bilingual volunteers are especially encouraged to sign up, as many of the Neighbors we serve speak Spanish.

Together, we can help ensure families have access to the food and support they need and create a welcoming experience for everyone who attends.
