Senior BOX Programs

The Senior Box Program is a community-driven initiative designed to support seniors aged 62 and older who are facing financial challenges. Through the generosity of local churches and other supporters, the program provides essential resources, including Christmas gifts and meal boxes, to seniors who meet specific eligibility criteria.

To qualify, seniors must fall at or below 180% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. The program offers two sign-up periods each year:

Spring Senior Box Program – Sign-ups are held from February 3 to March 2.
Christmas Senior Box Program – Sign-ups take place from September 2 to October 31.

Participants are encouraged to apply early, as limited spots are available, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all slots are filled.

In 2025, a completed application will be required for both programs. Seniors can register at the designated location, 343 S. Wall Street, Calhoun, GA, or call 706-629.7283. After registration, approved applicants will receive a confirmation letter by mail. If applicants do not receive the letter, they are advised to contact the office for clarification.

The program also offers volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in helping distribute Senior Boxes, making it an impactful way for community members to give back.
