Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Gerontology journals contain ample data regarding the effect of nutrients in prolonging health and productive lives of our senior citizens. Conversely, the absence of meals and other services we provide to the isolated and destitute elders leads to a decline in quality of life, early institutionalization and significantly higher cost of health care. |

|
Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Delivery of 133 congregate & 343 homebound unduplicated meals to eligible participants each day. |
