NUTRITION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
DIVISION

Janette Martin, Cbuf

225-1095
The Nutrition and Community Services Divi-
sion gives statewide direction to the local adminis-
tration of aging programs and services. These
include nutrition, transportation, senior informa-
tion and assistance, employment, health promo-
tion, physical fitness, legal assistance, and senior
center operations and construction. The Division
monitors and technically aids a network of eighteen
area agencies on aging. The agencies receive grants
of federal and State funds from the Office on Aging
to serve the elderly in their geographic areas. Area
agencies encompass all counties and Baltimore City.
Funding sources for grants include Title III of the
federal Older Americans Act; Section 700 of the
federal Food and Agriculture Act; and State general
funds.

Senior Information and Assistance is a coordi-
nated statewide program that helps older persons
obtain information and services. In each local juris-
diction or area of the State, the Senior Information
and Assistance office is a single point of contact for
older persons seeking services and benefits from
public and private agencies.
