“Many seniors in our community rely heavily on the Meals on Wheels program to continue living in their homes, but unfortunately the budget impasse is causing the program to be scaled back,” Hoffman said. “We must do better for our seniors, and I will continue fighting to protect vital programs that wonderful organizations such as Senior Services Plus provide for our most vulnerable residents.”
