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.
Theme
The 2026 theme, Serving Up Solutions, reflects the creativity, innovation, and collaboration that define the Senior Nutrition Program. It highlights how local programs continually adapt to meet community needs — from providing nutritious meals to creating opportunities for older adults to stay engaged and independent. With every meal, programs are serving up solutions that support health, well-being, and stronger communities.
