Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney on March 16 said Meals on Wheels and after-school programs don't "show results." “We serve more than 2.4 million seniors from 60 to 100+ years old each year,” the organization writes. More recently, those same researchers conducted a random controlled trial of Meals on Wheels efficacy. The study, which was funded by AARP, enrolled hundreds of seniors on food waiting lists across the United States. Some received daily meal deliveries, others got weekly bulk frozen food deliveries, and some simply remained on waiting lists.
