HCR 47 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution recognizing March 2025 as National Senior Nutrition Program Month in Vermont

HCR 47 is a symbolic resolution recognizing March 2025 as National Senior Nutrition Program Month in Vermont. It highlights Vermont's senior population (28% aged 60+), the threat of hunger among older residents (12%), and the role of programs like Meals on Wheels in delivering over 986,000 meals annually. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living and Vermont meal providers, with no new funding or policy changes. It serves as a ceremonial acknowledgment of existing senior nutrition efforts, aligning with the federal program's 2025 theme "A Place at the Table."
