Program accomplishments
- In 2025, Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels YMOW provided meals to medically homebound residents of eastern Washtenaw County in southeast Michigan. YMOW clients access to two meals a day on Monday through Saturday and one meal on Sunday. Each days delivery includes a hot meal for lunch and a chilled meal for later in the day. In addition to traditional meals, YMOW provides frozen meals and emergency shelf stable meals for times when weather or other circumstances prevent delivery. YMOWs clients are typically older adults with multiple chronic health conditions and very limited incomes. Our commitment is to help these vulnerable neighbors remain in the comfort of their own homes without worries about what they will eat or how they will obtain or prepare food. Every meal delivery doubles as a wellness check and a tool against the social isolation that many clients experience. With every meal delivered and every client visited, we take one small step toward our vision of a community where every senior feels nourished, valued and supported.
