Meals on Wheels is an organization that provides mutritious meals to senios that are in need and live independently in their homes on their own instead of moving into nursing homes.
Now because of the federal budget cuts Meals on Wheels of Wake County will be serving 12,000 fewer meals.
The Executive Director Alan Winstead said in a statement, “More senior adults are applying for Meals on Wheels than ever before,”and “Cuts in federal funding means that we must leave qualified participants on a waiting list and potentially cut current clients. The reality is that we need more money to buy more nutritious meals for more people. The last thing our most vulnerable neighbors and family members need is to lose this essential service.”
