YMOW CLIENTS ACCESS TO TWO MEALS A DAY ON MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND ONE MEAL ON SUNDAY. EACH DAY'S 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. YMOW'S 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.

YMOW'S CAPABLE (COMMUNITY AGING IN PLACE -ADVANCING BETTER LIVING FOR ELDERS) PROGRAM OFFERS A SUPPORT TEAM TO HELP OLDER ADULTS AGE IN PLACE. CAPABLE'S SOCIAL WORKER, NURSE, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, HANDY PERSON AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS WORK WITH EACH SENIOR TO MAKE CHANGES THAT HELP THEM LIVE LONGER AND MORE SAFELY AT HOME.

PETS ALSO HELP TO PREVENT SOCIAL ISOLATION IN OLDER ADULTS. TO EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF CARING FOR A PET, YMOW PROVIDES PET FOOD AND CAT LITTER THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH HUMANE SOCIETY OF HURON VALLEY AND THE WE LOVE PETS PROGRAM OF MEALS ON WHEELS AMERICA. IN 2019 YMOW PROVIDED PET OWNERS WITH 7,855 POUNDS OF FOOD AND 3,108 POUNDS OF LITTER.
