For some seniors, food assistance packages filled with staples are not an optimal solution to their food insecurity because they do not cook. KindWorks is bringing you together with others to provide ready-made meals to senior citizens serviced by the Gaithersburg Cares Hub and living in the Hillside Senior Apartment Homes in Gaithersburg.
