2013Celebrating the National Senior Nutrition Program**February 14, 2020**Back in January, ACL sent out a draft of the March activities for Nutrition Month. We asked for comments and feedback from stakeholders and ACL Regions. Based on the feedback we received, we decided to adjust the focus of our celebration. We have been advised the that the phrase, “National Nutrition Month” is a trademarked one. So during March, we will now celebrate the “OAA National Senior Nutrition Program”* instead.
