My family benefits from Head Start.

Defunding Head Start will put us in a state of uncertainty. How will we access childcare and schooling for our children? Can we afford private daycare? Will either myself or my husband need to change or leave our jobs to cover this shortfall?

Who will be harmed by President Trump’s lawless and unconstitutional OMB directive?

Kids enrolled in Head Start.

Senior citizens who rely on Meals on Wheels.

And countless American families.
Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause:

"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."
