House Republicans have taken steps to ensure continued support for home-delivered meals programs, including Meals on Wheels. The proposed legislation, designated as HB 5911, seeks to reallocate $25 million from migrant welcoming centers to bolster the Home Delivered Meals Program. This initiative aims to maintain the delivery of essential services to seniors.

The bill reflects a commitment by House Republicans to prioritize funding for programs that directly benefit senior citizens. By shifting resources, they aim to secure the necessary financial backing for meal delivery services that many older adults rely on.
