A hot meal is delivered to seniors who are homebound and are unable to prepare nutritious meals for themselves. Suggested donation: $3.50 per meal
In addition to providing healthy and well-balanced meals, the meal deliverers also provide an important service by checking on the homebound seniors when they deliver the meals.
DO YOU QUALIFY FOR HOME DELIVERED MEALS?
– Eligibility requirements for Home Delivered Meals include:
– You or your spouse must be 60 years of age of older.
– You must be homebound and cannot leave your home without assistance.
-You are unable to prepare meals and you have no one nearby to prepare your meals.
Call 228-6522 ext 302 for more information or to see if you or someone you care about qualifies.
WHAT DO THESE PROGRAMS COST?
The suggested per meal donation is $3.50 for each Congregate or Home Delivered Meal, but no one is ever denied service due to their inability to donate. Family members are also encouraged to donate on behalf of their loved ones. Since federal and state funding does not cover the full cost to operate the Senior Meal Programs, the generosity of program participants and their families is crucial. Without these donations CAAM would not be able to serve every senior in need of Congregate or Home Delivered Meals.
Community Action Alger-Marquette Senior Meals Programs serve close to 100,000 meals a year to seniors in Alger and Marquette Counties, helping those seniors live longer, healthier and more enjoyable lives. Volunteers are needed in a variety of ways to continue providing these important meals. If you wish to learn more call our office for more information.
