Hundreds of local government officials and business leaders delivered meals with their local Meals on Wheels programs across the country in March. Elected officials, Mayors, State Representatives, and County Commissioners joined local business leaders to deliver meals to Meals on Wheels. Thank you County Commissioner Mark Richards for serving meals to our hungry seniors.
Meals on Wheels programs across the country are also celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the inclusion of Senior Nutrition Programs in the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA is federal legislation that authorizes and supports vital senior nutrition services to Americans age 60 and older.
"We thank these local leaders for stepping up to the plate and joining our mission to end senior hunger in America by the year 2020," said MOWAA President and CEO Enid Borden. "Meals on Wheels programs are on the front lines of our battle and need support from elected and community leaders to continue providing the nutritious meals and human contact that our seniors so desperately depend on."
As you might know, March for Meals is a national event initiated by the Meals on Wheels Association of America.
You are joining hundreds of others across the nation who are delivering meals to the homebound in their local communities.
This year is the 40th anniversary that Meals on Wheels programs started receiving federal funding. But, this and other government funding for critical programs is being cut or remain stagnant. We know that there are now 7.5 million seniors at risk of hunger in the United States. |
