Champlain Valley Agency on Aging (CVAA) is one of five area agencies on aging in Vermont. Since 1974, CVAA has been providing nutrition and supportive services to seniors. The State of Vermont designated CVAA as the area agency on aging for Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties. This means CVAA carries out programs authorized by the Older Americans Act—federal legislation that calls for local organizations to take the lead in creating a coordinated system of services for older people across the country.
