Food

The Baltimore City Health Department runs several programs that provide food for Baltimore City older adults.

1) Home Delivered Food Boxes. *This program is usually just for adults 55+ but is currently open to all*
This program delivers a 15-pound box of non-perishable groceries to Baltimore City residents who:

  • cannot afford meals or groceries
  • currently have no food at home or will run out of food before they can buy more

Exercise

Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance
Discover the art of balance and stability with our Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance program. This unique, evidence-based program offers older adults a gentle yet powerful way to enhance their physical coordination, reduce fall risks, and improve overall mobility. Designed by Dr. Fuzhong Li at the Oregon Research Institute, the program transforms traditional Tai Ji Quan techniques into therapeutic movements specifically aimed at improving postural stability, functional walking, and the strength of lower extremities.
