Description
Homage Senior Services runs the Meals on Wheels program in Snohomish County.
Now that the pandemic is past us, Homage is losing $50,000 in COVID funding that went to feed low-income seniors.
That translates to more than 200 of Snohomish County's most vulnerable parents, grandparents and disabled people who could be cut from the program.
"It horrifies me," says Bonnie Peters with Meals on Wheels. "There's not anybody that we serve who doesn't need this program. And there are so many other people who do need the program that we can't serve right now."
