Food Equity Fund: American Polynesian Organization, Low Income Senior Meal Program

As a recipient of several Seattle Department of Neighborhood’s Food Equity Fund grants, APO has utilized this funding to organize meals, assemble grocery boxes, and host classes to help increase access to nutritious, culturally relevant food, and promote a healthy lifestyle for American Polynesian seniors in South Seattle. APO staff and volunteers coordinate these services with a broader goal that drives how and why they gather. They understand that the cure for loneliness is connection and they are not shy about having fun.  Christie Robertson, a local community audio producer, recently spent the day with APO and captured some of the laughter and joy that ensues at these weekly meals and learn what makes this organization and community so special.
