We encourage you to use the simple email template on the right-hand side to invite your Members of Congress to visit your program and experience firsthand the power of Meals on Wheels and other services you provide. This is the best way to advocate and build support.  

You can customize the invitation and information within the *asterisks* to reflect your organization, contact information and specific engagement opportunity details (e.g., deliver meals, join a virtual event or call, make check-in phone calls to senior clients or meet with your organization leadership).  

Appropriations discussions for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 are happening now and Members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate will be in their home districts in the coming weeks, making this a great time to host your Members of Congress at your program. As always, please schedule a visit with your Members of Congress when both of your schedules align.   

Thank you for all that you do for older adults in your community! Should you have questions or need assistance, please reach out to advocacy@mealsonwheelsamerica.org.
