Meals on Wheels funding gap
Summary
The program serves homebound Payson seniors but has a waiting list of over 200 people countywide because COVID-era funding is gone. The Giving Tree and a new nonprofit will help; volunteers are always needed.

Impact analysis
Payson contributes city funding via the MAG contract, but the program remains underfunded countywide.
Roughly eight to ten homebound Payson residents currently receive meals, with more served as funding allows.
Homebound seniors on the waiting list go unserved due to inadequate funding.
