The White House is hosting virtual regional listening sessions over the coming weeks. The listening sessions will include breakout sessions where stakeholders can share local perspectives and identify areas of action for specific topics like food access and affordability, nutrition and health, food security and more.
 
This is an important opportunity to share the knowledge and experience you have on OAA nutrition programs—and the nutrition and hunger issues affecting the older adults in your community. Your feedback is critical for the communities you serve, but also to ensure the Aging Network's expertise and wisdom are reflected in any resulting policy conversations.
