(WBAP/KLIF) — The Federal government has awarded over $16-million to Texas to provide meals to older residents. The money is part of a $250-million Department of Health and Human Services grant that came as a result of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
H-H-S Secretary Alex Azar knows the elderly are hardest hit. Azar says getting more funds to community organizations to deliver meals to older adults exemplifies the whole-of-america approach to combat covid-19.
He believes local leaders can best determine where to utilize the money. The Trump Administration recognizes that older Americans need to be cared for amid the threat of COVID-19.
