Peoples Health partnered with the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Terrebonne Council on Aging to help local seniors celebrate 
Thanksgiving in the spirit of giving back to the community.
Volunteers from the organizations served more than 250 Thanksgiving meals to local seniors at the Houma Municipal Auditorium. Guest server included Jim Boulet, a Southland market farmer who has been donating thousands of pounds of produce exclusively to Second Harvest since 2012. Uniquely, Boulet’s produce was featured in the Cushaw Squash Spice Cake for the dessert portion of the meal.
Peoples Health is the proud sponsor of the 7th annual Second Harvest Food Bank’s Thanksgiving and Holiday Meals for Seniors program. This program provides more than 6,000 traditional holiday meals to local seniors in need. The food is prepared at the Second Harvest Community Kitchen and distributed to locations across the Greater New Orleans area, as well as sites in Lafayette, Lake Charles and the bayou region.
“We are committed to the communities we serve and understand the challenges many seniors face throughout the year but also during the holiday season. Through these Thanksgiving meals, we are able to highlight the need to support our seniors,” stated Nick Karl, Chief Marketing Officer at Peoples Health.
Through this sponsorship, Peoples Health is proud to support local seniors and bring awareness to senior hunger issues in the community during this holiday season.
