12. Thanks for posting. This is heartbreaking. Had me thinking about Meals On Wheels

March article from Forbes:

Critical food programs for older adults, such as Meals on Wheels, avoided major reductions in federal support when Congress finally approved a spending plan last month. But for the third year in a row, lawmakers froze funding for these efforts. And after taking into account rising costs and a growing population of frail older adults, no increase in funding inevitably will result in reduced services and increasing numbers of hungry seniors.

It is a little like someone who had two relatives move in with them but has not gotten a raise in three years. Yes, they still have a job. But it is a lot harder to feed everyone.
