About us

The Nutrition and Aging Resource Center, also known as the National Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging (NRCNA), is funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The purpose of the NRCNA is to build the capacity of senior nutrition programs funded by the Older Americans Act (OAA) in order to provide high-quality, person-centered services and to assist the ACL and stakeholders to identify current and emerging issues and opportunities that enhance program sustainability and resiliency. The intent of the OAA senior nutrition program is to reduce food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition; enhance socialization; and promote the health and well-being of older adults.
