We all have someone in our life that needs help from time to time. In Southeast Michigan

there are over 60,000 homebound seniors who may not have anyone to call on when in need.

For over 20 years Detroit Meals on Wheels has been there to provide a hot nutritious meal to these seniors. With the change in the economy Detroit Meals on Wheels need your help now more that ever.

Your donation big or small will help. You simply cannot rely on someone else to give, so we need your help to reach our goal of raising $100,000 to feed 20,000 homebound seniors on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Labor Day. Days when regular meals may not be provided.

This is how you can make a contribution:

1)     Click to donate on-line;

2)     Mail your check made payable to Detroit Meals on Wheels,

    1333 Brewery Park Blvd., Suite 200, Detroit, Michigan 48207

      3)     Phone in your credit card payment to  313.446.4444 (please ask for Victoria Pecora or  the Fund Development Department)

Thank you for remembering that "Hunger Takes No Holiday"

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT DETROIT MEALS ON WHEELS

The Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA) Detroit Meals on Wheels Federally funded Program provides meals to homebound seniors five days a week. We are pleased to have been able to meet the needs of so many seniors living in Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Harper Woods and the five Grosse Pointes.

In 1988 we created the Holiday Meals on Wheels Program, because federal funding was not available to provide meals on weekends and holidays. Happily for the past 20 years we have been able to provide hot nutritious meals on Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.  It is our mission to feed every homebound senior in our area who needs a holiday meal. 

It is your turn. Please give to Detroit Meals on Wheels today!
