ACCA IN ACTION DURING COVID-19
ACCA Emergency Food Relief – By the Numbers
• 76,672 emergency food relief meals provided since March 16th
• 578 of ACCA’s existing clients and an additional 1,193 new clients – a total of 1,771 seniors
• 3,889 safety checks and buddy calls made
On March 16th, ACCA closed the majority of our 14 aging service programs. Because we were prepared, in less than 48 hours, we were able to transition our entire agency’s service delivery model into one critical mission that no senior will be left behind.
We are concentrating ACCA’s resources into the meals on wheels model of service delivery, focusing on three areas: food and basic needs, security checks and virtual social connections for all we serve. As part of our emergency food relief efforts, each week seniors are receiving 5 frozen prepared meals, commodity bags with groceries for an additional 5 meals, and basic essentials such as toilet paper. Utilizing our existing community partners, we purchase commodities from the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and wholesale distributors and prepared meals from Epting Events.
