我哋嘅膳食計劃
連接膳食係聖路易斯奥比斯波县嘅高級營養計劃。 每個工作日,Meal That Connect都為聖路易斯奥比斯波县嘅1,000多名60 +老年人提供免費,健康嘅中午餐啲。
老年人聚集喺全縣十個餐飲場所之一,一起用餐,交流故事並發展友誼。 志願者司機為無法離開屋企嘅老年人送餐。 佢哋定期提供陪伴,並利用呢啲頻繁嘅訪問嚟檢查長者嘅安全。 (新段) 高級營養計劃將為任何60岁或以上嘅老年人提供服務,無論收入如何,佢哋都要求我哋嘅服務。 周一至周五,我哋喺10個餐飲場所嘅集中環境中提供免費嘅中午餐啲,或喺周末同節假日提供冷凍餐點。 我哋目前總共為大約2300名計劃客戶提供服務,儘管並非所有客戶每日都會收到餐點。 我哋嘅目標人群係任何需要我哋服務嘅60岁以上嘅人。 顯然,縣入面有好多老年人唔需要我哋嘅計劃,但越嚟越多嘅人需要。

我哋嘅影響
我哋縣嘅好多老年人都迫切需要我哋嘅計劃。 高級營養計劃涉及兩個關鍵的健康影響領域:食物獲取和健康老齡化。 我哋嘅膳食不僅解決了食物獲取問題,仲為老年人提供營養餐,幫助佢哋喺舒適嘅家中保持健康。 我哋志願者嘅日常訪問提供社交接觸和安全檢査。 回歸集體用餐讓老年人有機會建立友誼。
聖路易斯奥比斯波县60岁以上居民嘅比例高於州或全國平均水平。 根據2020年嘅人口普査,聖路易斯奥比斯波县20%嘅居民超過65岁。 加州老齡化部預測,到89年,65岁以上嘅居民人口將增加2060%。
喺我哋嘅項目客戶中,60%係女性,其中一半係獨居。 我哋嘅大多數客戶(約38%)係生活喺貧睏綫或貧睏綫以下嘅女性

1974
政府撥款最初開始提供,專門用于為老年人提供營養。 建立咗州和县指定嘅實體嚟管理方案。 就係地區老齡問題嘅誕生。
1974
由於《美國老年人法案》,加州開始獲得高級營養計劃嘅資助。 在聖路易斯奥比斯波,地區老齡問題機構( AAA )管理該計劃開,直到1981年。
1981

1991
SLO高級營養計劃( SNP )作為一個非政府實體註冊成立,作為一個慈善組織註冊成立,有一個董事會同自己嘅小員工。 該組織繼續喺財務上掙扎了15年。
2006
Tortilla Flats餐廳嘅前老闆Elias Nimeh接管咗呢間非營利組織。 佢能夠降低成本,實現更多嘅融資機會,並令該計劃發展壯大到今日嘅水平。
2016
2016年10月,Verdin營銷公司將SNP更名為Meals That Connect與他們的24鐘頭改造捐贈。 該計劃今日仍在強勁發展——2021年COVID大流行期間提供多達206緊,500份餐點。 該計劃得到咗CENCAL Health慷慨嘅年度贊助嘅大力幫助。
President Kennedy spearheaded the Older Americans Act with members of the National Council of Senior Citizens. The month of May was designated as "Senior Citizens Month," the prelude to "Older Americans Month."
Older Americans Act was signed into law on July 14, 1965. It established the Administration on Aging within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and called for the creation of State Units on Aging.
Government funding, designated to provide nutrition for senior citizens, first became available. State and County designated entities were established to manage this programming. This was the birth of the Area Agency on Aging.
As a result of the Older Americans Act, California began receiving funding for senior nutrition programs. In San Luis Obispo, the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) managed the program until 1981.
The Economic Opportunity Commission (EOC), now CAPSLO, took over the San Luis Obispo Senior Nutrition Program. The EOC struggled to make the program financially sustainable for 10 years before handing it back over to the AAA
The SLO Senior Nutrition Program (SNP) incorporated as a non-governmental entity, incorporated as a charitable organization with a board of directors and its own small staff. The organization continued to struggle financially for another 15 years.
Elias Nimeh, previous owner of the restaurant Tortilla Flats, took over the nonprofit. He was able to sharpen costs, achieve augmented funding opportunities, and make the program grow and thrive to the level it is today.
October, 2016, Verdin Marketing company rebranded SNP as Meals That Connect with their 24-hour makeover donation. The program continues strongly today - serving up to 206,500 meals during the 2021 COVID pandemic. The program has been helped mightily by a generous annual sponsorship from CENCAL Health.

有膳食客戶推薦真係太好嘞,但是,進行緊我哋嘅攝入過程時,我哋確實需要與客戶交談。 我哋好樂意為您提供幫助佢哋參加該計劃所需嘅信息,但我哋最終需要直接與高級客戶交談。
