Resilience - Meals on Wheels Association of America

I would suggest that one of the included entities should be the "Meals on Wheels Association of America". I've recently seen several stories of how the price of gas is already having a huge impact on their ability to serve. Here are a few links describing their problems and changes they have made as a result.
