Advocate for Emergency Funding

Earlier this week we, along with Meals on Wheels America, submitted a letter with 63 other national organizations to Congressional leadership advocating for $200 million in emergency (non-disaster) funding before the end of the year to address the growing waitlists for OAA senior nutrition programs. This funding would provide nearly 75 million additional meals and serve almost 650,000 more older adults. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, NANASP has co-led successful advocacy efforts
to gain more funding for important aging programs, including:

Emergency relief funding of over $1.6 billion for OAA Title IIIC nutrition programs, including congregate and home-delivered meals, and increases of $60 million in regular funding for these programs over the last four fiscal years
Relief funding of $660 million for OAA Title IIIB supportive services
Relief funding of over $60 million for OAA Title VI Native American nutrition and supportive services

In the past year, NANASP has also led a successful advocacy campaign to make new pneumococcal vaccines available to older adults, participated in the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health, and given grant funding to our members for innovative projects, inflation protection, diversity efforts, and public-private partnerships.
