Let’s Celebrate!
This year, March For Meals celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the inclusion of Senior Nutrition Programs in the Older Americans Act (OAA). In March of 1972, President Nixon signed into law a new Title of the Act that laid the groundwork for more than 5,000 Senior Nutrition Programs. The OAA is the primary piece of federal legislation that authorizes and supports vital nutrition services, both Congregate and Meals on Wheels, to Americans age 60 and older.
In celebration, we have set the following dates for exciting March events! Please take a moment and look at what we have planned:
