Even without direct cuts, flat federal funding acts like a reduction due to inflation and rising food prices. Meals on Wheels providers are already losing money on every meal served, and budget constraints could lead to waitlists or fewer delivery days.

A separate $145,000 cut to Local Food Purchase Assistance means fewer fresh, local ingredients from Chester County farms. That’s a double hit: seniors lose access to nutritious produce, and local farmers lose income.
Chester County Food Bank, which supplies ingredients to Meals on Wheels and other programs, has lost an estimated $250,000 in USDA food deliveries, including staples like milk, cheese, and eggs. This forces nonprofits like theirs to dip into limited reserves or reduce services.
I had a great experience joining Meals on Wheels of Chester County for a day of service to our community, but couldn't help but remember the reality of our situation:
When I was active duty in the Air Force, one of my favorite volunteer opportunities was with Meals on Wheels: serving people who are homebound, regardless of age or income, with hot lunch five days a week.
I had the privilege to visit a number of organizations impacted by The Trump Administration's slashing of resources and I look forward to sharing their stories with you.
This administration has made no secret about wanting to dismantle access to all of this. But I am proud of the amazing community organizations and programs that do so much good for so many of us.
This week in PA-06, we're talking about healthcare in all of its different forms. Mental health, physical health, emergency response needs, and the importance of programs like Medicaid and Medicare that allow people to receive necessary care and lifesaving services.
Investing in our communities means helping our businesses expand manufacturing capacity, recruit and train a skilled workforce and support a steady and rational tax and economic strategy. When we work together, we all come out ahead.
about manufacturing in PA-06, the importance of a skilled workforce, operating in uncertain economic times, and even affordable housing needs in the area.
Last week I visited Spanco which has been manufacturing cranes and lift solutions in southern Berks County for decades. I talked with them and executives of their parent company, Promise to Perform,
Last month, as the Chair of the @newdems.bsky.social Economic Growth & Cost of Living working group, I co-led the release of a pro-business tax framework supporting incentives for domestic research and development, manufacturing, and intellectual property creation and retention.
Because of the Trump Administration's tariffs, business like theirs are facing uncertainty about what the next quarter will bring. It's customers, suppliers and the 400+ employees at the Morgantown facility need certainty, not chaos.
I headed over to Morgantown to tour Viwinco's manufacturing facility and its impressive research and development lab. The company sources materials from across the world to manufacture windows and storm doors here in Berks County.
House Democrats are working to protect and strengthen Social Security, so there can be more money in the pockets of today’s seniors and future generations.
Hands Off our Social Security!
It lifts 22 million people out of poverty, including nearly one million children. It helps nearly 3 million Pennsylvanians buy groceries, pay bills, and afford their rent or mortgage.
Today, we celebrate 90 years of Social Security. Signed into law by FDR, it is a benefit Americans earn over their working lifetime, paying into it with each paycheck in order to provide them a safety net when they no longer work.
Today is the 80th anniversary of V-J Day, marking the day that the Allied forces emerged victorious over the Axis Powers in WWII. Let us never forget the sacrifices made to protect the world from tyranny and the bravery shown by American G.I's and military leadership to end the war.
It was a pleasure meeting the AEONRG team in my West Chester office to discuss their business and how the SBA supports them and other small businesses. Hopefully next time we have a chance to connect, Army vet and company leader Bill will leave the Air Force slander at the door.
Chester County's AEONRG received the 2025 Eastern Pennsylvania Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year award. They conduct facility maintenance, repairs, and infrastructure work, including upgrades to the Coatesville VA Medical Center.
