NSIP Snapshot

Here you will find a brief description about the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) and a link to the NSIP home page where you will find additional information about this program.

How it Works

NSIP, formerly the Nutrition Program for the Elderly (NPE), provides nutritious meals for older adults either in congregate meal settings or through home delivery. The Department of Health and Human Services,  through State and local Agencies on Aging, administers this Program. 

USDA's involvement is limited to providing commodities to State Agencies on Aging and Indian tribal organizations for participating NSIP institutions or eligible recipients. For more information about this program and how it works, please click on the link below:
