Senior nutrition programs modified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's senior nutrition programs to better support older adults living in the community by expanding transportation services, nutrition assistance, and food delivery options. It establishes a new Food Delivery Support Account to fund grants for nonprofit organizations that provide transportation for home-delivered meals, groceries, and purchased food to older adults with limited mobility or resources. The legislation also updates the list of allowable uses for nutrition support funds to include medically tailored meals, SNAP outreach, and partnerships with various community partners like schools and restaurants. Area agencies on aging will distribute these funds based on a state formula, with the requirement that grant money supplements rather than replaces existing state and federal funding.
