Since 1972, the national Senior Nutrition Program has supported nutrition services for older adults across the country. Funded by the Older Americans Act (OAA), local programs serve as hubs where people 60+ find healthy meals and vital services that strengthen social connections and promote well-being. Every March, we celebrate our program’s anniversary and its many accomplishments at the national and local levels. We promote how nutrition services help people stay independent as they age and highlight critical senior nutrition issues. The 2025 theme, A Place at the Table, recognizes the importance of local nutrition programs and the meals being served in communities across the country.
Our Vision
To be the Southwest Idaho long term care resource hub that provides reliable and accessible information.
