9 Things Only Senior Citizens Get Free

2) Food

If you are a low-income senior who meets certain qualifications, you may be eligible to receive subsidized or free meals or food packages. The Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which is a federal program, delivers healthy meals to the homes of senior citizens each month. The food is provided by the U.S. Agricultural Department. A volunteer home-delivery program known as Meals on Wheels can help seniors get started with free or discounted meals. You may qualify for discounted meals at several restaurants and many fast food establishments such as McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A offer a free drink with a food purchase. Some restaurants even offer half-price meals to seniors one night each week.
