D.C. Hunger Solutions sounded the alarm last week, asking people to sign a petition in favor of restoring the funding. They haven’t gotten much traction with the Council yet, according to Mark Andersen, co-director of the senior outreach nonprofit We Are Family—but the program’s recipients won’t be happy.

“Generally, D.C. politicians are not eager to get seniors angry,” Andersen says. “I can guarantee you this will be an issue if they don’t act.”
