Albemarle Commission Senior Nutrition Program


  • About Us

    Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) were formally established under the Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1973 to respond to the unique and growing needs of older and disabled adults and their caregivers throughout the country. AAA’s are charged with coordinating community based services and supports to help vulnerable adults live with independence and dignity in their homes and communities. As a program of the Area Agency on Aging, the Senior Nutrition Program aims to enrich the lives of older adults by providing nutritious meals and services that promote dignity, well-being, and independence.  Meals are prepared fresh daily by local caterers and are designed to provide 1/3 recommended dietary allowance for older adults. Nutrition Services offers more than just a meal to their participants. Nutrition screening and nutrition education is offered by regional agencies. The Nutrition Program offers to link its seniors to other services such as food banks, food stamps, home repairs, transportation and other assistance programs.
