On this occasion, we would like to highlight The City of Burbank’s Burbank Nutrition Services success story. Their story has been posted to the Older Californians Nutrition Program Success Stories page at aging.ca.gov.

The City of Burbank’s Senior Nutrition Program congregate sites have been offering hybrid meal distribution to eligible participants, which has been very successful. Both Home Delivered Meal Program and Hybrid Meal Distribution participants enjoy a variety of high quality, hot, fresh/cold, and frozen meals. The City of Burbank’s Senior Nutrition Program served more than 100,000 meals from July 2022 to December 2022. The program has expanded to meet community needs and continues to offer high quality services and nutritious meals.
