How New York Offices for Aging are Improving Older Adults’ Access to Healthy Nutrition

City of Yonkers Office for Aging and Montgomery County Office for Aging are two aging service providers offering resources and nutrition programs for older adults in their respective communities. Yonkers OFA, located in Yonkers, NY, serves 450 older adults across their programming while Montgomery County OFA serves over 700 older adults. Providing older adults with access to nutritious meals through Home Delivered Meals programs, food pantries, produce programs, and congregate centers is a core service for each, but with fluctuating schedules, frequent changes, and regular updates, consistent and timely communication is essential for older adults to take full advantage of the healthy meals available to them.
