You're lying, no offense.

Meals on Wheels received 35% of their funding from the federal government.

MOW also receives a lot of block funding money from states, which is federally funded to the state, so the impact is far greater than just the 35% federal funding cut.

You should check facts before you proagate lies, unintentionally or not. But don't take my word for it, a quick Google gives you a statement from Meals on Wheels, on their website.
