In March, ACL and its partners will celebrate 55 years of the Senior Nutrition Program supporting the health and well-being of older Americans and their communities.
Every year, the Senior Nutrition Program serves millions of older Americans through a nationwide network of about 5,000 local providers. The 2027 anniversary theme, A Recipe for Health, recognizes that the program's nutrition service intervention provides more than just a meal.
A Recipe for Health celebrates the many ways nutrition programs support the whole health of older adults - through nutrition education, opportunities for social connection, and access to other services and supports like falls prevention classes and preventive care.
Local programs, the broader aging services network, and communities can bring this theme to life by sharing stories and tips, promoting services, and showing how older adults are creating their own recipes for healthy aging.
Start planning now and join ACL in celebrating the Senior Nutrition Program in March. Logos are available, and more materials and details about a March celebration event are coming soon. Use #SeniorNutritionProgram to share what you're planning!
