Senior Food and Nutrition Programs
Access to nourishing food is a critical link to maintaining physical health, independence, and quality of life.
Participants receive a variety of services including nourishing meals, screening for risk of malnutrition, and nutrition education and counseling. Meals are home delivered (Meals on Wheels) and provided at community senior centers and meal programs. The program also provides opportunities for social interaction, volunteerism, and links to other important services. Area Agencies on Aging provide registered dietitian services to older adults at high risk for malnutrition. Additionally, registered dietitians provide nutrition education and in-service education to meal site staff on topics related to food, nutrition, and safe food handling.
