Get InvolvedOur mission is to provide nutritious food and a wellness check so that the seniors in our community feel neither hungry nor isolated.
Our vision is to increase our service area to include between Hancock and Calumet, to include Painesdale, Houghton Canal, Bootjack, and to offer three meals daily.
Copper Country Senior Meals is a home delivered and congregate meal service. The meals are designed to provide 33% of the daily nutritional requirement. For people 60 and over, that are able to drive, congregate meal sites are situated throughout the area, providing an opportunity for social interaction.
For home bound seniors, ‘meals on wheels’ are available. This vital service not only provides a hot meal, but also a visit from a dedicated delivery person. Meals and milk can be opened, and if a senior is not home, or able to open the door, we call an emergency contact to be sure of the senior’s wellbeing. Often, this is the only social contact our home bound have, and it is very important for them to have a connection with the world outside.
