Sequestration will cut critical nutritional support to New Jersey’s seniors
Long Branch, NJ— On Monday, May 6 at 10:00 a.m., Congressman Frank Pallone (NJ-06) will visit Interfaith Neighbors, which operates a Meals on Wheels program in Asbury Park that has been strained due to the federal across the board budget cuts known as the sequester.
Meals on Wheels offers seniors better health through the combination of a hot, nutritious meal and an opportunity for companionship. Through Meals on Wheels, the Monmouth County office on Aging serves nearly 400,000 meals per year and as a result of the federal budget cuts will provide 32,000 fewer meals to seniors.
