Our Executive Director, Monica Wright, recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of Meals on Wheels America's "End the Wait" initiative. 🇺🇸💙

During Hill Day, Monica joined advocates from across the country in meeting with senators and congressional offices to encourage increased funding for the Older Americans Act, which supports critical Meals on Wheels programs nationwide.

" I am very grateful to be a participant in Meals on Wheels America's plans to 'End the Wait' and ensure all seniors who need Meals on Wheels receive them." – Monica Wright

Every senior deserves access to nutritious meals and the support needed to remain healthy and independent. We are proud to have a voice at the national level advocating for the older adults we serve every day.
