The Trump administration's budget cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services are endangering Meals on Wheels, a vital program for feeding seniors. Historically supported across party lines, the program is now at risk due to Republican budget plans aimed at financing tax cuts for the affluent. Advocates warn that cuts to essential programs like Meals on Wheels and others will worsen food insecurity for seniors, potentially leading to life-threatening consequences. The proposed elimination of the Social Services Block Grant further complicates funding and delivery of essential services to vulnerable populations.
This is not just about a nice-to-have program. These programs are necessities in the lives of seniors all over this country.
We're going to be leaving people hungry and this literally has life and death implications.
