The Mastick Senior partners with the Mercy Brown Bag Program to provide free food and groceries to our seniors.

The Mercy Brown Bag Program, with the support of Elder Care Alliance's Mercy Retirement & Center Center, distributes groceries to seniors throughout Alameda County twice a month, free of charge. Depending on availability, each bag is brimming with nutritious items, such as onions, green peppers, potatoes, carrots, oatmeal, lentils, apples, canned goods, low-sodium spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, tuna, eggs and more.
