Meals On Wheels

This ministry is designed to provide manpower, support and assistance to the Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs in Eaton and Ingham Counties. The Tri-County Office on Aging manages this program to provide and deliver hot, nutritious meals to those in need at their homes. Meals are delivered every weekday; sack lunches and frozen meals also are provided for evening and weekend meals when needed. All deliveries are made at noon during the week. An important element of the program is all recipients are “looked in on” and have some human contact every day. Recipients pay the recommended cost of the meals, as they are able. There is “never a time when we don’t need more drivers, coordinators and kitchen help,” according to program managers in both counties.
Deliveries are planned so drivers can pick up the meals and deliver them to the homes; and return to work or home within one hour. This ministry also depends on prayer partners, parishioners who are unable to physically serve in the program but pray daily for the volunteers, the recipients and the success of the program.
