Are you eligible for Social Security retirement benefits or already receiving them? Did you know you can also receive healthy meals and other nutrition services through the National Senior Nutrition Program? Local meal programs in communities across the country are waiting to serve you.
As we age, we have different needs, different ways we take care of our health, and different nutrients we need to get from our food. But we don’t always have enough healthy food or the desire to prepare or eat a meal. Whether you need more food, healthier food, someone to share a meal with, or just want to learn about good eating habits, a meal program can help.
Every day, senior nutrition programs serve almost one million meals to people aged 60 and older. With home-delivered and group meal options, you can get the food you need in a way that works best for you.
Senior nutrition programs can:
Help you avoid missed meals – and save time and money with less shopping and cooking.
Offer opportunities to connect and socialize, which can help improve your mental and physical health.
