Community Enhancement Collaboration — Senior Shopping Food Program

Community Enhancement Collaboration works from the Washington Park area and combines food distribution with community support. For older adults, its website lists an in-person Senior Shopping Food Program for low-income Hollywood residents age 62 and older. The organization asks participants to bring proof of residency and photo identification or another accepted document.

CEC lists Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. and closures on holidays; Hollywood’s municipal page lists the senior program from noon to 2 p.m. Because the official pages disagree, call (954) 987-0625 before traveling and confirm the current schedule. This is not home delivery or an automatic benefit for every older person in the county: local residency, age, and low-income status are part of access.

CEC also lists a client-choice pantry, mobile food distribution, and other support for local residents. Those programs have different rules; some serve Broward residents generally, while the senior shopping day is reserved for older people who live in Hollywood. Check the programs page before traveling because schedules can change or distribution can end when supplies run out.

The organization lists 5648 Wiley Street, Hollywood, FL 33023, and phone (954) 987-0625. Call before visiting to confirm what proof of address is accepted, whether advance registration is needed, and whether distribution will take place that Tuesday. CEC also says its home-delivery food list is closed; that is separate from the in-person senior shopping day.

The program offers a practical option for households on a limited budget, but its page does not promise a set menu, a specific quantity, or guaranteed weekly supplies. If someone needs prepared food delivered because of limited mobility, ask Broward’s Elder Helpline about home-delivered meals, a separate county-area service administered through local providers.
