Meals On Wheels Facing Cuts

MARTINEZ (CBS SF) — Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa launched an urgent appeal for more donations Monday, saying that a funding shortage could force it to drop 200 people from its roster of 1,200 seniors receiving home-delivered meals.

The Martinez-based nonprofit group currently uses 800 volunteers per year to deliver one nutritious meal each day to 1,200 homebound, low-income elderly people throughout Contra Costa County, according to program director Paul Kraintz

Kraintz said the organization has been struggling with budget problems for several reasons, including reduced donations and increased need stemming from the recent recession.

But he said a crucial blow has been the loss of $100,000 in funding as a result of the federal budget sequestration.

“The sequestration was a bridge way too far,” he said.

“We’re always struggling with increased need for services and not enough revenue, but when the federal government hit us for $100,000, it made it so we had to act differently,” he said.
