December 2025 Menu Highlight

As winter approaches, Copper Shores Meals on Wheels is hard at work preparing warm and cozy meals for seniors. This month, many of the meals were prepared with donated goods from our longtime supporters on Isle Royale.

Back in September, Meals on Wheels received a large and generous donation from Rock Harbor Lodge. This is the third year that Rock Harbor Lodge has donated food following the national park’s seasonal closure; pick up day from the Ranger III docks has become an exciting tradition among the Meals on Wheels team.

Some of the meals in December featuring donated goods from Rock Harbor Lodge include:

  • Thursday, December 4 - Turkey wraps with Swiss cheese, veggies and an orange, made with cheese from Rock Harbor Lodge.
  • Friday, December 12 - Pepperoni onion pizza, broccoli salad and fresh fruit, using pepperoni donated by Rock Harbor Lodge.
  • Tuesday, December 16 - Split pea soup with ham, biscuits and coleslaw, prepared with biscuits and peas from Rock Harbor Lodge.
  • Tuesday, December 23 - Chicken breast, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and a fruit cup, made with chicken from Rock Harbor Lodge.
  • Monday, December 29 - Smothered chicken with mushroom and onion, green beans and rice, prepared with rice from Rock Harbor Lodge.
