Duke Energy plans to provide shelf-stable meals to Jefferson County residents age 60 and older. The event is a partnership between the utility and the Florida Council on Aging and Advantage Aging Solutions.
Local seniors are encouraged to pick up grab-and-go boxes containing three nonperishable meals and water at this community event. The three meals included are a breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The meals are to ensure older residents are prepared for a quick evacuation or potential power outages when the next storm strikes.
The event will be held at 9 A.M. at Jefferson Public library while supplies last. The boxes will be distributed in a drive through so no one has to leave their cars.
Aly Raschid, Senior Communications Manager for Duke Energy, says that while the event is tailored to older residents, the company is willing to provide the boxes to any and all residents in need. Raschid also clarified that no documentation will be needed when picking up the boxes, allowing for a seamless pickup and go.
