Demand Congress Prioritize Seniors
Meals on Wheels providers and the seniors they serve need your help! We are urging Congress to end this shutdown by passing a funding package that prioritizes seniors and invests in and protects the programs that support them.
With the recent announcement by USDA that it will not utilize contingency funds to pay for SNAP benefits after October 31, demand for Meals on Wheels services will spike, adding strain to local providers that are already stretched beyond capacity.
Now is a critical time for you to contact your members of Congress — your voice makes a difference! Simply type your name, home address and email to automatically send a message to your members of Congress asking them to prioritize seniors. Thank you for your time and support.
If you have time, we strongly recommend you also call your members of Congress using this phone script. We are hearing that phone calls are making the biggest impact.
