Advocating for Food Security for Older Adults

At PCOA, we recognize the pressing issue of food insecurity among older adults, particularly those living on limited social security benefits. The rising costs of living and financial constraints often force older adults to make difficult decisions, including sacrificing meals to cover other essentials.

The Crisis at Hand

Many older adults face the harsh reality of food insecurity daily. With limited financial resources, they are forced to choose between paying for housing, medication, utilities, and food. This tough decision-making process amplifies their vulnerability to hunger and its adverse health effects.

The Role of Advocacy

Advocacy is a crucial tool in addressing the challenges of food insecurity. By raising awareness and urging policymakers to take action, we can create a more supportive environment for older adults facing hunger.
