Leadership-Newsom/CA will launch a far-reaching program to provide 3 meals a day to senior citizens
California effort will employ restaurant workers to provide meals for seniors amid coronavirus crisis
SACRAMENTO Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will launch a far-reaching program to provide three meals a day to California senior citizens in need during the coronavirus pandemic, employing out-of-work restaurant workers and funded largely by the federal government. [...] The program will provide $66 a day per senior in funding for the daily meals. Newsom said the effort will launch immediately, focused on seniors who are either at risk for COVID-19 or have limited income. He said payments for the food will generate sales tax revenues to help support local government budgets that have been hit hard by the closure of retail businesses and restaurants.
