The House concurrent resolution No. R-63 recognizes March 2025 as National Senior Nutrition Program Month in Vermont, highlighting the significant demographic of older Vermonters, who make up approximately 28% of the state's population. The resolution notes that 12% of this population faces hunger, emphasizing the importance of the Senior Nutrition Program established by President Nixon in 1972. This program addresses the nutritional needs of older Americans who may struggle with food access due to financial constraints, mobility issues, or social isolation. In Vermont, the program is administered by the State Unit on Aging and local agencies, with Meals on Wheels playing a crucial role by delivering nutritious meals and providing companionship to seniors.

The resolution also underscores the impact of Meals on Wheels, which delivered nearly one million meals to older Vermonters in 2024, significantly enhancing their quality of life. It aligns with the broader Age Strong VT initiative aimed at improving the lives of individuals of all ages in the state. The federal Administration for Community Living celebrates the Senior Nutrition Program each March, with the 2025 theme being "A Place at the Table," which emphasizes the value of local nutrition programs. The resolution calls for the Secretary of State to send copies to relevant state departments and organizations to promote awareness and support for the program.
