In August of 2025, Houghton County voters passed the Elder Nutrition Millage to expand Meals on Wheels across the county, and now those changes are just around the corner! We’re starting by introducing not one, not two, but three brand new Meet & Eat sites in southern Houghton County.
Eight months ago, we were a part of the 1 in 3 Meals on Wheels programs across the nation with a waitlist. Thanks to the passage of the Elder Nutrition Millage, we’ve welcomed more seniors to our existing delivery routes and eliminated our waiting list, now serving 360 seniors every day. That’s 60 more than this time last year!
To keep up with the growing number of seniors we serve, we’re also growing our team. We’re looking for a Dishwasher/Kitchen Assistant and recently welcomed Cook, Jamie Moilanen, to the team.
New location for Chassell Meet & Eat
Our Meet & Eat site in Chassell is moving. Same time, same days, same service - now at the Chassell VFW!
What’s cooking in the kitchen
As a new season begins, fresh produce returns to our kitchens, and our partnerships with local growers continue to deepen. See what we’re serving in May.
Mike Poisson is consistently stepping up to the plate when needed, demonstrating reliability and a strong commitment to our Meals on Wheels team. He takes pride in being a cook and in ensuring meals are prepared with care and attention to detail. Mike's hard work reflects just how much he enjoys what he does. He is always looking out for the seniors we serve, keeping their needs at the forefront of his work. His dedication and initiative make him a vital part of our program.
