DESIGNATING MARCH 2023 AS A MONTH <br />CELEBRATING THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT NUTRITION PROGRAM <br />-Whereas, on March 22, 1972, President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older <br />Americans Act of 1965 to include a national nutrition program for individuals 60 years and older. For over <br />50 years, this landmark law has helped to fund community-based organizations, like Meals on Wheels, and <br />it is still the only federal program designed specifically to meet the nutritional and social needs of older <br />adults; and <br />-Whereas, each year, Meals on Wheels programs from across the country join together for the March <br />for Meals awareness campaign to celebrate its success and garner the support needed to ensure these <br />critical programs can continue to address food insecurity and malnutrition, combat social isolation, enable <br />independence, and improve health for years to come; and <br />-Whereas, Meals on Wheels programs in Indian River County have served our communities <br />admirably for over 48 years and in the past year have provided 106,197 meals to 783 clients. Volunteers <br />for Meals on Wheels programs in Indian River County are the backbone of the program and in the past <br />year, 214 individuals volunteered a total of 21,378 hours delivering nutritious meals to seniors and <br />individuals with disabilities who are at significant risk of hunger and isolation, but also caring concern and <br />attention to their welfare. <br />Now, 7 erefore, be it Proclaimed by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian <br />River County, Florida, that March 2023, is designated as a month celebrating the Older Americans Act <br />Nutrition Program and urge every community member to take this month to honor our Meals on Wheels <br />programs, the seniors they serve and the volunteers who care for them. <br />Adopted this 7th day of March, 2023. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />
