President Donald Trump recently announced his proposed budget outline that includes major cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Meals on Wheels, a program that helps deliver food to homebound senior citizens, receives a portion of their funding from the department. Though it is unclear what areas will potentially feel the affects of the proposed cuts, Marion County Senior Nutrition Director Dawn Allspach-Kline tells KNIA/KRLS News if funding were to be cut a waiting list would be made with those individuals in the most need getting priority. Allspach-Kline adds that roughly 120 homebound senior citizens could be affected in Marion County.
