Describe the challenge you want to address:
Older adults not having access to nutritional resources, especially those with mobility issues. Digital divides that impedes their ability to improve there access to critical services
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
"Use technology app or other user friendly tool that is easy to use for older adults where they could text a number to indicate a need. The app will also connect older adults not only to food and health resources but will also connect other older adults in the community and each other. The app should be simple and color coded. "
