This March, JABA joins the Administration for Community Living and nutrition service providers across the country in celebrating the anniversary of the national Senior Nutrition Program, which coincides with the national awareness campaign about nutrition. This year’s theme “Cooking up Community” puts an emphasis on the way providing access to healthy food helps build healthier communities for people of all ages.

Senior nutrition is now more important than ever. Each year in the U.S., up to half of adults age 65 and older are at risk of malnutrition, and more than 10 million face hunger. In communities throughout the U.S. – including our own – older adults sometimes lack access to the high-quality, nutritious food they need to remain healthy and independent.

And it’s easy to understand why. In Charlottesville and our surrounding counties, 6.5% of adults 60 and older live in poverty and 4.6% receive food stamps or SNAP. What’s more, 26.6% live alone, 8.6% don't have a vehicle, and almost 30% have a disability. Any combination of these factors can make it difficult for older adults to get the proper nutrition they need.
