於1972年修訂，在半個多世紀以前通過的“美國老年人法案”，也是幫助老年人的主要聯邦計劃之一，為60歲及以上的人提供家庭餐和團體餐，而此計畫的資金遠遠落後於，美國人口老齡化增長和美國通脹的影響。One of the main federal programs helping seniors is starved for money. The Older Americans Act — was amended in 1972 to provide for home-delivered and group meals for people 60 and older. But its funding has lagged far behind senior population growth and U.S. inflation.
該法案將於9月30日到期，而國會正在考慮重新授權以及未來的預算。 With the act set to expire Sept. 30, Congress is now considering its reauthorization and how much to spend going forward.
目前，數百萬老年人 - 特別是低收入老年人 - 在全國范圍內皆有吃不飽的問題存在。目前在國內，老年人通常是從Meals on Wheels獲得家庭送餐，這是一個由5,000個社區項目組成的網絡，也是老年人食品的重要供應商。 For now, millions of seniors — especially low-income ones — go without enough to eat nationwide. Across the nation, waits are common to receive home-delivered meals from Meals on Wheels, a network of 5,000 community-based programs and a crucial provider of food for seniors.
