The House concurrent resolution No. R-63 recognizes March 2025 as National Senior Nutrition Program Month in Vermont. It highlights the significant demographic of older Vermonters, with approximately 28 percent of the population aged 60 and above, and notes that 12 percent of this group faces hunger. The resolution commemorates the establishment of the national Senior Nutrition Program, initiated by President Nixon in 1972, which aims to address 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 managed by the State Unit on Aging and local area agencies, with Meals on Wheels playing a crucial role by delivering nutritious meals and providing companionship to seniors. In 2024, Meals on Wheels providers delivered nearly one million meals to older Vermonters, significantly enhancing their quality of life. The resolution aligns with the federal Administration for Community Living's annual celebration of the program, emphasizing the importance of local nutrition initiatives. The General Assembly calls for the Secretary of State to share this resolution with relevant state departments and organizations involved in senior nutrition services.
