I think this bill is good for seniors who need help with food. It will make sure they have enough to eat and stay healthy. I wonder how many seniors will benefit from this bill?

I am in full support of this bill as it aims to provide much-needed assistance to our senior citizens who may be struggling with food insecurity. As someone who is approaching retirement age, I understand the importance of ensuring that our elderly population has access to nutritious meals. This bill could potentially benefit me in the future, as I may rely on such programs to help me stay healthy and well-nourished. It is heartening to see legislation that prioritizes the well-being of our seniors, and I hope that this bill receives the necessary support to become law.
