Senior nutrition programs modification
This bill modifies Minnesota's senior nutrition programs to better support older adults' physical and mental health by expanding funding and service options. It establishes a new food delivery support account to provide grants to nonprofit organizations for transporting home-delivered meals, groceries, and purchased food to older adults with limited mobility, disabilities, or resources. The legislation allows area agencies on aging to use funds for a broader range of services including transportation to grocery stores, medically tailored meals, nutrition counseling, and partnerships with community partners like schools and hospitals. Additionally, the bill permits unused nutrition support funds to be transferred to congregate dining and home-delivered meal programs, ensuring flexible use of resources to address local needs.
