Seniors Are Waiting
Too many older adults are still waiting for the meals and support they need. See how Meals on Wheels America is working to close the gap and why your voice matters.
Seniors Are Waiting.
Tell Congress to Increase Funding.
Meals on Wheels programs and the seniors they serve need your help! The Older Americans Act (OAA) is the primary source of federal funding for senior nutrition programs nationwide, supporting more than 244 million meals each year for 2.6 million older adults. Yet millions of seniors remain at risk of hunger and isolation — like MeMaw, Auntie, Abuelo and Gramps — who are not receiving the services they need.
We are urging Congress to provide $2.285 billion for the Older Americans Act Title III-C Nutrition Services in the FY2027 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill. A continuing resolution (CR) is not enough to address the unmet need present for seniors across the country.
Now is a critical time for you to contact your members of Congress. This is where you can help. Your voice makes a difference!
