Bringing Joy and Nutrition to Homebound Seniors This Holiday Season

AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services | January 2025

Meals on Wheels helps make sure homebound seniors have a nutritious meal and a friendly volunteer at the door Monday through Friday. While federal funds help cover the cost of this critical program on the weekdays, there is no government funding to cover the cost of meals on the holidays. We depend on donations from people like you to make sure we can deliver a hot, festive meal and a smiling face to the doors of local seniors on these special days.

Give Them the Joy of the Holiday

Your donation to our Holiday Meals on Wheels program will deliver so much more than a meal. It will also bring a caring volunteer to the door of a senior who might otherwise spend the holiday hungry or alone. It’s someone to wish that senior a happy holiday and make sure they know they’re not forgotten.

Your Donation Stays Local and Helps Seniors in Your Neighborhood

• We serve six counties in southeast Michigan (Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair and Washtenaw counties).
• We work with 13 contract providers on a local level. Your gift will stay local and help seniors in your community.

Over 8,000 Holiday Meals Are Needed This Season

• Holiday deliveries happen on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Passover and Easter.
• (Not all providers deliver on all holidays.)
