Host Facility: Senior Citizens Inc.

Join us in beautiful Savannah for great speakers, networking with others who care about senior nutrition programs, and some fun in one of Georgia’s most beautiful cities. Let’s enjoy time together in learning after a year of isolation and challenges.

We have known it for decades, and now research validates it! Meals on Wheels and Senior Center Nutrition services deliver more than just a meal. Join your fellow Georgia senior nutrition professionals as we dive into varied topics such as program design, volunteer recruitment after the pandemic, ageism and the client experience, food services: menu development, quality control, and getting client feedback, best practices, and the latest developments and opportunities from Meals on Wheels America.
