Older Americans Act nutrition services programs have been one of the core elements of our national strategy for reducing food insecurity among older Americans for nearly 40 years.
Watch the recorded Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging's Hearing telecast from June 21, 2011.
Testimony includes witnesses from the Administration on Aging, National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs, an Area Agency on Aging, The Commonwealth Fund, and the Government and Accountability Office.
Congregate Meals are served up to five days a week to older adults (and their spouses of any age) at more than 1,000 sites across New York State, including senior centers or clubs, senior housing complexes, and town halls. A person’s income is not considered.
Home Delivered Meals are nutritious meals delivered to a person’s home one to two times daily, five or more times a week. There are no income guidelines; the target population is nutritionally at-risk adults who may be disabled, living alone, have very low-income and/or are over 75 years of age.
Connect with resources and tools in our Senior Nutrition Center to help older adults in your community.
