AAA Congregate & Home Delivered Meals Survey

Thank you so much for being here!

Food security has become one of the biggest challenges facing households in Washington State. Nutrition funding for older adults is more important than ever for their health and safety.

Today, we are looking for examples of how Area Agencies on Aging have put nutrition funds into action in their communities and what a difference they are making, particularly in rural communities where access to food can be a challenge.

Thank you for being here- we'd love to hear your story!

2.What county or city do you receive nutrition services in?
