Mission Statement
Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels works to reduce hunger and food insecurity for our homebound adult neighbors in the Ann Arbor area who, because of their health, are unable to shop and prepare nutritious meals for themselves.
Description
Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels is a community-supported program of Michigan Medicine and part of Community Health Services. AAMOW staff and volunteers are committed to supporting the dignity and independence of our homebound community members who are largely unable to leave home because of their health status. We value diversity, equity, and inclusion and seek to provide services that are culturally responsive.
We provide meals to those who, because of their health, are homebound and unable to obtain food or prepare complete meals. We serve people regardless of age or financial status.
Meal delivery volunteers serve a critical role in our program and in the lives of our homebound neighbors. Volunteers choose the day (currently Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) and frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, substitute) for volunteering. Meals are picked up at the Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels office at 11:30am, and routes typically take 1-2 hours to complete.
For many of our clients, a volunteer is the only person they see all day. Visit our website to learn more and apply today!
