ArchWell Health Partners with Birmingham's Carver Jones Market to Address Senior Food Insecurity

ArchWell Health Announces Partnership with Carver Jones Market to Expand Access to Healthy Food for Seniors

The partnership will provide $10 gift cards to shoppers during the store’s “Senior Tuesdays” from Oct. 15 to Dec. 3

BIRMINGHAM, AL (Oct. 14, 2024) – ArchWell Health is proud to announce its partnership with Carver Jones Market in a collaborative effort aimed at increasing access to nutritious food options for seniors in Fairfield and the greater Birmingham area. This initiative underscores ArchWell Health's commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles and well-being among older adults in the community.

This partnership will provide individuals with $10 gift cards to shop at Carver Jones Market on Senior Tuesdays from 9am to 11am, Oct. 15 through Dec. 3 During Senior Tuesdays, shoppers over the age of 65 also receive a 10% discount on behalf of Carver Jones Market.

In addition to helping older adults access fresh, local foods the partnership will provide senior shoppers the chance to ask ArchWell Health employees about Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period, which also runs Oct. 15 through Dec. 3.

“As primary care providers focused on helping seniors live healthy lives, we know the important role that healthy eating plays in every aspect of their lives,” said Dr. Hernando Carter, ArchWell Health Market Medical Director. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner in the transformative work Carver Jones Market is doing in this community. We hope these gift cards help seniors around town purchase the foods they need to stay active and healthy.”

Many Birmingham seniors struggle with consistent access to affordable, healthy produce and nearly 70 percent of all residents live in a designated food desert. Alabama has one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the nation – an issue that is exacerbated by common obstacles for seniors, such as access to transportation and special dietary requirements.

Carver Jones Market is located at 4800 Gary Ave, Fairfield, AL 35064. Individuals over 65 receive a 10% discount every Tuesday at the market.

ArchWell Health has three centers in Birmingham. In addition to high-quality primary care for adults 60+, ArchWell Health offers same-day appointments and weekly activities in a bright, welcoming environment that fosters friendships and connections.
