House Republicans have proposed a new bill aimed at reallocating funds to support senior nutrition programs. The legislation, known as HB 5911, intends to shift $25 million from migrant welcoming centers to the Home Delivered Meals Program. This move is designed to maintain the delivery of essential services like Meals on Wheels for seniors.

The initiative underscores the commitment to ensuring that older adults continue receiving necessary nutritional support through established programs.

"Feed Our Seniors Act" seeks to address funding concerns and prioritize resources for vulnerable senior populations by redirecting existing allocations.
