Our most vulnerable are on a waitlist. San Antonio's Meals on Wheels said due to unstable funding sources, they have nearly 1,500 seniors on a waitlist to get a meal delivered to their home. This isn't just a San Antonio problem.
San Antonio's Meals on Wheels said the need exceeds the available resources to put everyone on service as soon as possible. The organization adds it is prioritizing referrals and focusing on people with the highest need, and said people could spend up to eight months on the waitlist. The nonprofit cited the rising cost and the uncertainty of funding from the Social Service Block Grant.
