The Jefferson Area Board for Aging's (JABA) mission is to promote, establish and preserve sustainable communities for healthy aging that benefit individuals and families of all ages. JABA accomplishes this by working with community partners for the good of the entire community. JABA was founded in 1975[citation needed].

JABA will also operate a satellite campus at the new Jefferson School City Center[1].

Local food efforts

JABA is raising money to build a frozen-food processing facility to allow them to use more local food in the meals they serve to patrons. The facility would allow them to freeze locally grown food for use in the off-season. Each year, JABA serves mores than 36,000 meals at its Hillsdale drive location[2].

Nursing Clinic

JABA agreed in 2011 to help with administration of a nursing clinic at the Westhaven public housing site, [3]
