March for Meals
What are you doing to combat hunger for seniors like Willie in your community?
March for Meals is an annual national campaign to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on a local level. Senior nutrition programs across the United States promote March for Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising initiatives. Locally, MIFA’s March for Meals raises funds for our
Senior Meals program, which serves more than 2,000 hot, nutritious meals every day to homebound seniors in Shelby, Tipton, Fayette, and Lauderdale counties!
The campaign takes place in March because it was during this month that the law was enacted that included senior meal programs in the Older Americans Act.
