Older Americans Act 50th Anniversary
January 27, 2022
Each year the March for Meals celebration commemorates the historic day on March 22, 1972, when President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include a national nutrition program for seniors 60 years and older. Senior Resource Connection has served the Miami Valley for 66 years and will join forces with other Meals on Wheels programs across the country for an awareness campaign to celebrate 50 years of OAA funding. Our collective goal is to garner the support needed to ensure these critical programs can continue to address food insecurity and malnutrition, combat social isolation, enable independence, and improve health for years to come.
