28 Jul 2020 --- The US-based National Council on Aging (NCOA) will connect 1.15 million eligible older adults to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the next two years thanks to a US$4.35 million grant from the Walmart Foundation. The funding will broaden access to federal programs fighting food insecurity faced particularly by older adults, including those in rural areas. Food insecurity has always been a global issue, now further exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
