END THE WAIT
For Seniors on waitlists, everyday feels like a lifetime.
Hi James,
Imagine waking up hungry and not knowing how or when your next meal will come.
That’s the reality for too many of America’s seniors right now - told they’ll have to wait weeks, months, even years for Meals on Wheels services. With rising demand and costs, local providers are without the necessary funds to keep up.
With ongoing uncertainty, our aging neighbours continue to wait, while hunger and isolation remain ever-present.
The longer they wait, the more they are at risk for malnutrition, hospitalization and becoming disconnected from their communities.
These seniors could be in your neighbourhood right now, struggling with hunger and loneliness behind closed doors, wondering why they are being left behind, wondering if anyone will remember them - hoping for relief.
You can make sure fewer seniors are forced to wait for this essential lifeline.
Every year, Meals on Wheels serves over 2 million seniors, but that’s only a fraction of those in need.
Your support today is crucial to safeguarding the federal funding that makes this possible – now more than ever. Because no one should have to wait for something as basic as balanced nutrition and human connection.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give, this is it. Because seniors shouldn’t have to wait another day. Help us End the Wait today.
Thank you for stepping up when it matters most,
Meals on Wheels America
