NCOA SNAP screening and food assistance resources for older adults. A go-to for families noticing the fridge is empty or the senior is skipping meals. Most programs ask for a suggested donation but turn no one away based on inability to pay. Many older adults don't apply for SNAP because of stigma; the application is now online in most states and takes 15 minutes. Open at no cost to New Jersey seniors and the families supporting them.
