MISSISSIPPI'S OLDER ADULT NUTRITION PROGRAM
Two Main Types of Meal Help
Home-Delivered Meals
Meals may be available for older adults who have difficulty preparing food for themselves and who meet program eligibility requirements.
Your Area Agency on Aging will complete or arrange an assessment to determine eligibility and availability.
Community Meal Sites
Senior centers and nutrition sites across Mississippi offer meals in a community setting.
These programs can provide both nutritious food and an opportunity to socialize and participate in activities.
SENIOR FOOD BOXES
Commodity Supplemental Food Program
Mississippi's Commodity Supplemental Food Program, often called CSFP, provides eligible adults age 60 and older with a monthly food package designed to supplement their diet.
Local agencies determine eligibility and distribute the food boxes.
