Meals on Wheels America and NANASP Send Letter to President Biden and Speaker McCarthy Regarding Debt Limit
May 23, 2023 by Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels America President and CEO Ellie Hollander, alongside the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs (NANASP) Executive Director Bob Blancato, sent a letter to President Biden and Speaker McCarthy regarding the ongoing debt limit and federal spending negotiations. Our two organizations strongly urge protection for programs like Meals on Wheels and that current funding levels are preserved, at a minimum. Cutting to FY 2022 appropriations levels could mean more than a million older adults would no longer receive meals through the Older Americans Act (OAA) Nutrition Program.
