A startling number of US seniors risk going hungry due to the inability to obtain sufficient food for their household or having to choose between food and medical care.  The City of Riverside has teamed up with Comfort Keepers of Greater Kansas City in an effort to raise awareness for this growing epidemic that impacts millions of older Americans trying to remain healthy and independent by hosting a Lunch and Learn Program: Nutrition for our Senior Neighbors in Need.

In response to a growing need for awareness about senior nutrition, the Comfort Keepers system has launched a nationwide campaign called STOP Senior Hunger to create awareness for the importance of a healthy diet for those 65 and over. This senior nutrition campaign aims to help seniors preserve their independence by providing diet and nutrition information, encouragement and necessities.
