Summer Food for Thought
- Did you know 1 in 6 American seniors face chronic hunger? On our busiest day this week, we’ll deliver meals to more than 700 seniors who otherwise may not have a healthy meal. We’ll nourish more than 6,000 people this year, providing fresh, nutritious options to help them thrive in their golden years.
- Senior Spotlight: Meet Cheryl! Cheryl has been an amputee since she was 15 years old, and she hasn’t let that stop her. She's also an activist, a trailblazer, a proud mom and grandma, and a giver. She raised her son while finishing her degree at Aquinas College, helped lead her neighborhood as a community organizer, and became the first woman of color in Human Resources at the Amway Grand Plaza when its tower opened. When chronic back pain, along with knee and shoulder replacements, made cooking painful, it was your support that stepped in.
- What you may not see is the team behind the scenes—the compassionate voices on the phone, the careful check-ins, the referrals that keep someone safe, connected, and thriving. The hidden center of that connection is our Client Support Team.
- Are you looking to get out of the house and make a difference? Step into our kitchen on a weekday morning and experience the power of a scoop. From 9–11 a.m., volunteers help plate nutritious, made-from-scratch meals—each one destined for a senior in our community who counts on it.
- For over 15 years, Fusion IT / Millennia Technologies has been a trusted technology partner of MOWWM—helping keep our operations connected and secure so we can focus on feeding and caring for the senior community. But their commitment goes beyond tech.
- You can support Meals on Wheels Western Michigan in a way that’s both generous and financially smart!
