AARP Foundation Hunger

Meals & Nutrition · District of Columbia · Free

AARP Foundation programs fighting senior hunger across the US. A go-to for families noticing the fridge is empty or the senior is skipping meals. Meals on Wheels does a free in-home assessment to set delivery schedule, dietary restrictions, and emergency contacts. Many older adults don't apply for SNAP because of stigma; the application is now online in most states and takes 15 minutes. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
