President Donald Trump's freeze on federal loans and grants has caused chaos across the United States and one group that ensures American seniors have food to eat is warning that it's already impacting their ability to fulfill their mission.
Via Huffington Post reporter Arthur Delaney, Meals on Wheels issued a statement on Tuesday that painted a dire picture of the consequences of Trump's federal freeze.
"The uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today," a spokesman for the organization said. "Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

Although a senior Trump administration official insisted to Delaney that "no benefits to individuals are affected by" this order, the Huffington Post reporter observed that "Meals on Wheels isn't a direct benefit to individuals" but is rather a series of "grants that wind up at local charities."
Democrats across the country have condemned Trump for the freeze in loans and grants, with many saying that it puts their constituents directly at risk without access to government assistance.
