Area Plan Amendment
This proposed amendment to the Area Plan allows Eastern Area Agency on Aging to provide Grab & Go meals at our congregate dining sites. Grab & Go meals are supplemental meals for registered, qualified attendees to bring home and enjoy and fill in gaps of nutritious meals. The Grab & Go meals can utilize up to 25% of Older Americans Act (OAA) funding specific to congregate dining sites.
An additional period of time is available for the public to make additional comments. Public comments are open from April 1st - May 1st.
A copy of the amendment can be found here.

Area Plan
All Area Agencies on Aging are required by the Older Americans Act to create a four-year Area Plan that addresses the needs of older adults, adults with disabilities and caregivers in their regions. The Area Plan is developed with broad public participation, including input from the Agency Board of Directors, Advisory Council, public surveys and through public hearings. The plan must be approved by the Office of Aging and Disability Services. Once approved, the plan serves as the basis for planning, development and evaluation of programs, services and advocacy efforts offered through Older Americans Act funding locally.
