chronic conditions as well as those who may just need 
short-term assistance; 
Whereas good nutrition is essential to good health and the 
meals provided by senior nutrition programs contribute to 
the overall well-being of America’s seniors; 
Whereas the Meals On Wheels member programs serve this 
country’s over 60 population, which is rapidly growing 
and projected to increase dramatically; 
Whereas the demand for the services Meals On Wheels mem-
ber programs will continue to increase at an astounding 
pace;
