The $3 billion Community Development Block Grant program would be eliminated under Trump’s budget. These grants are used by the states for various community-development programs across the country, including Meals on Wheels programs to varying degrees. The Older Americans Act Nutrition Program is a far larger contributor to Meals on Wheels (about 35% of their total contributions). We don’t know how much it will be cut, but it is part of the Health and Human Services budget, which the White House has proposed cutting by nearly 18 percent.

That would be funny if Meals On Wheels was federally funded. Which it isn’t.
