Regional Council Granted Nutrition Funds
The Land-of-Sky Regional
Council has been granted
$215,000 through the North
Carolina Governor's Office for
Aging from the U. S.
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare to
continue operation of the Title
VII Nutrition Program for
older adults during calendar
year 1976. Ten locations serve
as meal sites in the four
counties of Buncombe,
Henderson, Transylvania and
Madison. The sites and daily
(S days per week) meal
allocations are Senior Op
portunity Center, Asheville, 76
meals; South, Asheville
Community Center, Asheville,
30 meals; New Mount Olive
Church, Asheville, 43 meals;
Weaverville Baptist Church,

The Project Council for the
Title VII Nutrition Program
for Older Adults in Region B
participated in the develop
ment of this application. The
funds allocated to the
program total of $215,000. The
majority of the money
provides for the meal delivery
service, with a small amount
for administration, tran
sportation and training of
personnel. The funds are
provided under the Older
Americans Act. The Boards of
Commissioners of Buncombe,
Henderson and Transylvania
Counties, the City of Asheville,
and the Towns of Marshall and

to match the grant.
The programs success has
pointed to the fact that the

together and enjoy a noonoay
meal in an attractive setting,
where activities are provided
for their enjoyment too.
Educational programs have
also helped to inform the
participants on various
subjects. Nutrition education

counseling, information and
referral are just a few of these
on-going programs.
