2025 Programs of Excellence - Nutrition

Every year NCOA’s National Institute of Senior Centers honors outstanding efforts made by senior centers across the nation to offer innovative, creative, and impactful programs for older adults. Each program is proof of the important work that happens at senior centers. And these programs serve as models for senior center staff across the country to implement in their communities. Join us for our Programs of Excellence webinar series where we highlight each category with a presentation by a subject matter expert and the winning programs.

This webinar features the Nutrition category. This award category highlights programs that address the nutritional needs of older adults including and especially through direct food services. Special emphasis is on initiatives that have increased participation in senior nutrition program meals, improved nutrition status, increased access to food, or decreased malnutrition.

In this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Highlight best practices from Programs of Excellence programs.

2. Describe innovative, creative, and impactful programs for older adults.

3. Analyze innovative ways senior centers have addressed the nutritional needs of older adults.
