The New Jersey Department of Human Services has awarded a grant for $110,000 to Cumberland County Office of Aging and Disabled to support home delivered meals and food for older county residents. The grant is funded by the federal government through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and will be administered locally by the Cumberland County Department of Aging and Disabled.

Nutritional budgets have been stressed since the coronavirus outbreak. Barbara Nedohon, executive director of the Cumberland County Department of Aging and Disabled stated, “Our seniors are among the most vulnerable to the virus and this funding will support our ongoing mission to keep our seniors healthy and safe.”
