The House Concurrent Resolution recognizes March 2025 as National Senior Nutrition Program Month in Vermont, highlighting the significant demographic of older Vermonters, who make up approximately 28 percent of the state's population. It addresses the issue of hunger among seniors, with 12 percent facing food insecurity, and emphasizes the importance of the Senior Nutrition Program established by President Nixon in 1972. This program aims to combat inadequate nutrition among older adults due to financial constraints, mobility issues, and social isolation.

In Vermont, the Senior Nutrition 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, these providers delivered nearly one million meals, significantly enhancing the well-being of older residents. The resolution also aligns with the federal Administration for Community Living's annual celebration of the program, which in 2025 will focus on the theme "A Place at the Table," underscoring the value of local nutrition initiatives. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to share this recognition with relevant state departments and organizations.
