The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded the Maryland Department of Aging a $4,410,626 Formula Grant under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services program (CFDA 93.045). This grant, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, supports the delivery of nutritious meals, nutrition education, and related supportive services for older adults in Maryland. The Maryland Department of Aging, as the designated state agency, partners with local Area Agencies on Aging and community organizations to implement home-delivered and congregate meal programs, as well as disease prevention and health promotion initiatives. This funding enables the state to help seniors maintain their health, independence, and quality of life, and avoid more costly institutional care. The Maryland Department of Aging has also received sub-awards, such as a $330,902 AmeriCorps grant to the Volunteer Maryland Division, to build capacity for volunteer-driven senior services across the state.
