HB1575

Mississippi HB1575 would authorize congregate meal programs to deliver hot meals to older adults living within 10 miles of the program site.

Mississippi HB1575 would authorize congregate meal programs that receive funds from the Senior Nutrition Program to make hot meals available to eligible older adults in their homes if they live within ten miles from the congregate site. This can be done by delivering the meals directly to their homes or providing them to caregivers or other persons who can take the meals to their homes. The purpose is to make hot meals accessible to older adults who cannot participate in the congregate setting. The decision to provide these meals remains discretionary with the program.
