Why Advocate for Seniors?
Everyone is affected by aging policy, whether by financially supporting programs through tax dollars, utilizing aging programs themselves, or acting as a caregiver to an elderly friend and family member. By advocating on behalf of seniors, you can help create an age-friendly community that helps older adults thrive and reduces the financial strain on the community as a whole.
Here are something things you can do today to help advocate for the needs of low-income seniors:
- Schedule a meeting with an elected official or community leader
- Find your elected officials (all levels): https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials
- Call, email or send a letter to an elected official or community leader
- Get educated about the issues
- Join our Full Plate Club to provide life-sustaining support for seniors
March is National Nutrition Month!
Through both congregate dining and home-delivered meals, we come together to reduce food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition while supporting the overall health and well‑being of our older adult neighbors. Learn more about the Senior Nutrition Program.
