About this organization
Mission
To provide quality nutrition services in a supportive environment to promote the health and independence of older adults.
About
The home delivered meals program provides a packaged, freshly prepared, dinner-type meal delivered around the noon hour to homebound seniors throughout West Michigan. A lighter second meal is available to those homebound who need it, which is also delivered around the noon hour. These meals follow one-third RDA and meet or exceed Michigan standards for senior meal programs. This program serves senior citizens unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves, and who are unable to leave their homes without assistance. Seniors who are participating in this program receive semi-annual visits from MOWWM assessment personnel who assess the client for continued eligibility and provide information and referrals about other services. 602,025 meals were delivered.
