Meals on Wheels America, along with 35 other national nonprofits, sent a letter to House and Senate leadership urging passage of bipartisan, bicameral appropriations bills that support resources for individuals, families, and communities before the end of the fiscal year on September 30. Charitable nonprofits represent the nation’s third largest employment sector, with more than 12 million employees who are at the forefront of helping Americans through difficult times. If an appropriations measure cannot be reached by this date, the group encouraged passage of a continuing resolution, a stopgap spending measure to avert a government shutdown and harmful impacts to the individuals and communities we exist to support.
