We need your help!

The 2025 Minnesota Legislature is in session, and the Senior Meals & Services Coalition has a critical funding request before them. Programs that provide meals and other services for older adults are severely underfunded and do not meet the needs of Minnesota’s oldest residents. We need your help to get funding passed this session. Please contact your Minnesota House and Senate members and ask for their support. Find contact information for your members.

Here’s a script for what you might say:

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [LOCATION].

I’m calling [emailing, writing] to urge [REP or SENATOR NAME] to support legislation that helps older adults with low incomes live independently in their homes rather than in more costly institutional settings.

A bill will soon be filed to fund meals and services for older adults. The well-being of older Minnesotans depends upon this critical funding to support our most vulnerable community members.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
