Ypsilanti Meals On Wheels

Care on wheels -the care on wheels program fulfills the organization's mission to help seniors live more safely at home. The program help remove the obstacles that make aging in place difficult, and even dangerous, for homebound neighbors living in ypsilanti and surrounding townships. It simultaneously eases the burdens placed on family caregivers, leaving them more time to care for themselves, or to just enjoy their loved one without the duties that come with caregiving. Caregiver visits also provide relief from isolation.

Pets assisting the lives of seniors ("pals"), formally referred to as animeal & pet support - for many homebound people, a pet is a treasured companion and an important tool against loneliness. To help clients care for their furry friends, the organization offers free pet food delivery through this program as well as support for vet visits, pet grooming, medical care for pets and pet supplies.

Through our personal care pantry, ymow makes non-food essentials available to clients who may not have money for such purchases or a means of obtaining such items. Incontinence products, cleaning supplies, hygiene items and paper products are available through the pantry. Additionally, ymow offers case management, social worker support, financial counseling, and a weekly produce delivery through our partnership with food gatherers.
