Senior Meals & Food Distribution
The California Department of Aging (CDA) administers the Older Americans Act Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) services through the area agencies on aging and their service providers. The ENP helps older adults remain independent and in their communities. Meals must meet nutritional standards by incorporating the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and providing a minimum of one-third of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Meals must also meet the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) requirements. We also have the Commodity Supplemental Senior Food Box which is a federal food program, designed to improve the health of senior citizens. Food for the program is provided by Imperial County Food Bank.
