Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a Democratic candidate for president, threw some praise toward a Wichita Falls nonprofit Tuesday during an appearance on "The View."

Sitting in the middle between hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin, O'Rourke described the impact Meals on Wheels can have on someone who would otherwise go without food or human interaction.

Behar spoke of the Trump Administration's recent announcement that a proposed policy would cut food stamps benefits to more than 3.1 million people.

"(Trump) wants to cut the Meals on Wheels program that is the sole source of calories for countless Americans," O'Rourke said. "We met a woman in Wichita Falls, she said, 'Not only is Meals on Wheels keeping me alive, but the person who delivers it is the single human being I will see over the course of the day. When he touches my shoulder before he leaves the door, it's the single human contact I will have.'"

Hearing any praise given to Wichita Falls volunteers on a national stage "melts my heart," said Jackie Hamm, executive director of The Kitchen, which is the umbrella organization of Meals on Wheels in Wichita Falls.

O'Rourke visited Wichita Falls several times during his unsuccessful bid against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

The story O'Rourke told could be that of any number of clients, Hamm said. Meals on Wheels serves 62 routes a day, encompassing as many as 850 meals, depending on the number of clients needing a meal that day. The number fluctuates depending on doctors' visits and other happenings keeping the client out of the home.

More than 300 volunteers set out across the various routes, and at least 50 volunteers are needed each day to get all the meals delivered.

"Volunteers add an immeasurable human value to the quality of the Meals on Wheels program," the organization's website states. "In some cases, the Meals on Wheels volunteer and the mailman may be the only two people some seniors see all day."

O'Rourke's appearance on Tuesday's show also included discussions, led by Meghan McCain, on the candidate's drop in national popularity.

“You’re polling at zero percent," McCain said. "You’re trailing Marianne Williamson in the important state of New Hampshire. Your fundraising numbers have gone down by a third. This isn’t great for momentum. Why do you think it’s cooled?”

The former congressman from Texas, who according to recent polls is averaging 3 percent, said that's "not what I feel when on the ground."

McCain also addressed O'Rourke's comments regarding the president's recent North Carolina rally where supporters shouted "Send her back," in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), comparing them to Nazis in Nuremberg.

"When Democrats come on here and wax poetic about extremism -- I’m not saying Trump isn’t doing it -- but you’re calling everybody who was in that North Carolina rally a Nazi," McCain said. "From my standpoint, it seems like the left is pretty extreme as well.”

O'Rourke said those who shouted to "send them back" are responsible for their actions.
