Ann Arbor Meals On Wheels

Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels reduces hunger and food insecurity, and promotes the dignity and independence of the homebound in the Ann Arbor area who are unable to shop and cook for themselves by delivering nutritiously balanced meals six days a week.

Description:
Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels is a non-profit community services program of the University of Michigan Health System.

Meals are delivered by volunteers Monday - Saturday. We provide two nutritiously balanced meals (one hot, one cold) and an extra cold meal on Saturday for a Sunday meal. Clients at nutritional risk are eligible to receive the nutritional supplement Boost.

In addition to delivering the meal, volunteers briefly socialize with each client. For some of our clients, the Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels volunteer is the only person they see all day.

History:
Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels was established as Motor Meals in 1974 and began with 40 volunteers delivering to 20 clients. Our name changed to Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels in late 2008. Currently, we have close to 500 volunteers and serve about 200 clients per day Monday through Friday and about 150 clients on Saturday.
