Our Meals for Seniors advocacy efforts are paying off. Meal funding has been added to the House and Senate Omnibus Human Services bills. We need to raise our voices now for legislators to adopt the higher funding level in the Senate bill.
Suggested copy for social media:
Act now! We have made good progress on the Meals for Seniors advocacy efforts, but we need your voice now. Ask your legislators to adopt the Senate version of the Omnibus Human Services bill that adds $32 million for senior meals for the next biennium. The need will not go away and will increase every year. Ask them to add funding for additional years. We can’t let seniors go hungry. Find your legislators and learn more at http://ow.ly/1qrX50NKFas.

Suggested blurb for e-blasts:
The Meals for Seniors advocacy efforts have been successful so far. Thanks to all of you who have reached out to legislators. We need your voice once again now.
Take 5 minutes to email your legislators with this message:
Please support Meals for Seniors in the Senate version of the Omnibus Human Services bill, which adds $32 million for senior meals over the next biennium. Ask the conference committee to add the same level of funding for additional years. The need only grows, and we can’t let seniors go hungry!
Thank you!
