Project Hope (Healthy Options Program for the Elderly) is a city-wide initiative to combat hunger and malnutrition faced by San Antonio’s senior population.

What Is Project HOPE?

Project HOPE (Healthy Options for the Elderly) is a City of San Antonio funded program dedicated to addressing food insecurity and malnutrition among seniors living on fixed or limited incomes. The program offers eligible seniors monthly food packages curated with a diverse range of nutritious items, including canned fruits and vegetables, grains, protein sources, and dairy products to improve their overall well-being and ensuring they have access to vital dietary essentials.

Yes, Project HOPE participants may choose to designate a proxy when they sign up for the program. A proxy is someone who has permission to pick up on the participant’s behalf when they are not able to pick up in person. We encourage seniors who are unable to pick up themselves to have family members, friends, or neighbors act as their proxies and attend the distribution on their behalf.
