Food insecurity has increased among older adults approximately 60% during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates have been especially high among Black and Hispanic older adults. Access to nutritious food is a key social determinant of health among older adults. Given the challenges with accessing food during the pandemic, many organizations and agencies have explored innovative ways to combat this issue.
