In conjunction with the National March for Meals campaign, the Iowa Department on Aging (IDA) is participating in the national 2011 March for Meals campaign and is encouraging Iowans to help their local Nutrition Program for Older Iowans by delivering meals to older citizens in their community or helping serve meals at a local senior meal site. March for Meals is a national campaign, initiated and sponsored by Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of the local community. Senior nutrition programs across the United States, like the Nutrition Program for Older Iowans, promote March for Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships and volunteer recruitment.
If someone is interested in volunteering at a congregate meal site, or delivering meals, they should contact their local Area Agency on Aging toll free at 1-866-468-7887 or log onto the website www.i4a.org.”
