We introduce you to Senior Services

We all have a grandparent we love or a senior citizen we look after, San Bernardino Community Service Program Coordinator Talks About the Importance of Senior Nutrition.

The senior population in the United States is rapidly growing, and San Bernardino is no exception. As the number of seniors continues to rise, it is increasingly important to ensure that they have access to healthy and nutritious food.

The San Bernardino Community Service Program is dedicated to providing these essential services to seniors in the community, and we recently had the opportunity to speak with their program coordinator for senior nutrition, Maryanna Arrieta, about the important work they are doing.

Coming Soon: Maryanna's Exclusive interview

San Bernardino's Senior Nutrition Program Interim Coordinator Maryanna Arrieta discusses the importance of nutrition and community for seniors and delves into the challenges that come through her path with Jesus M. Arias, Editor in Chief of The Arias Journal.

Maryanna and her work

Maryanna has been with the program for several years and has a wealth of experience working with seniors in the community. She shared her insights on the challenges facing seniors when it comes to nutrition and how the program is working to address these issues.

One of the biggest challenges facing seniors is access to healthy food. Many seniors have limited mobility and transportation options, making it difficult for them to access fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, seniors may have limited financial resources, making it difficult to afford healthy foods on a regular basis.
