Senior Nutrition Resources

A requirement of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) is that Lead Agencies provide nutrition education to their participants. The nutrition education must include:

• The nutritional value of CSFP foods, and how they meet dietary needs of seniors.

• Nutritious ways to use CSFP foods.

• The importance of healthcare.

• The role nutrition plays in maintaining good health.
