Meals on Wheels sounding the alarm on fed cuts: '400,000 meals go away'

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Leadership with Meals on Wheels is sounding the alarm after another wave of Health and Human Services cuts, concerned their funding could be impacted.

This week Meals on Wheels learned that 40% of the Administration for Community Living staff had been cut. CEO Suzanne Washington said that department deals directly with the funding that Meals on Wheels uses to serve people across the Portland metro area. Without those workers, there are concerns Meals on Wheels will not be able to get the money it relies on.
