Spencer, Iowa (NorthwestIowaNow.com) — The Elderbridge Agency on Aging is hoping the community will support their nutrition fundraiser to combat food insecurity among older adults. SueAnne Stormer is with Elderbridge

The event addresses the high risk of malnutrition among older adults, and data shows one in every two seniors is at risk. The Slam Dunk Against Hunger funds raised will support home-delivered meals, reduction in hunger and malnutrition, and nutrition education and socialization for older adults living on their own.

The auction continues through this Sunday night, March 29th.

Elderbridge Agency on aging is a non-profit organization that serves older adults, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities across a 29-county region in Iowa, and their primary mission is to help seniors live independently and with dignity in their own homes.
