Get Ready to Celebrate the Senior Nutrition Program This March

Every March, ACL celebrates its Senior Nutrition Program and the vital services it has provided to millions of older Americans since 1972. The program anniversary is an opportunity to promote the program's purpose and impact, engage with partners, and recognize the achievements of the aging services network.

The 2026 theme, Serving Up Solutions, emphasizes the creativity, innovation, and collaboration that define the Senior Nutrition Program. It spotlights how local programs continue to adapt and respond to community needs - from providing nutritious meals to offering opportunities for older adults to stay engaged and independent. With every meal, programs are serving up solutions that support health, well-being, and stronger communities.

Visit our webpage to find activity ideas and event tips, sample materials, and graphics to help you mark the occasion and raise awareness of your local nutrition program. Stay tuned for more information about a March celebration event, and don't forget to use the hashtag #SeniorNutritionProgram to share your plans on social media.
