Federal funding for Meals on Wheels is not keeping pace with demand, leaving millions of seniors like Mimi, Abuelo, Gigi and Gramps waiting for meals and moments of connection. The MeMaw Is Waiting campaign highlights this growing crisis and rallies supporters to contact their members of Congress urging them to increase funding for Meals on Wheels.

Follow the link below and let Congress know we need an increase to help feed the seniors in our communities.

Falls can happen in an instant, but a few simple steps can make a big difference. Staying active, reviewing medication side effects, having your vision checked, drinking plenty of water, and making your home safer can all help reduce your risk. This Falls Prevention Awareness Month, take time to protect yourself and encourage someone you love to do the same. 💙
