The American Red Cross of Central New Jersey is a participant in this national campaign, which aims to raise awareness of senior hunger and to encourage action on the part of the local community. Senior nutrition programs across the United States promote March for Meals in their local communities through public events, partnerships with local businesses, volunteer recruitment and fundraising initiatives. Mayors and other local officials deliver meals on one day in March to show their support of their local senior nutrition program.
