Local producers are growing food, and we’re growing our capacity to serve seniors right alongside them. As a new season begins, fresh produce returns to our kitchens, and our partnerships with local growers continue to deepen. Our Meals on Wheels program is about more than just a meal; it’s a shared commitment with partners and supporters who believe seniors deserve access to fresh, high-quality and locally sourced ingredients.
Some of the meals featuring local ingredients include:
- Tuesday, May 5 - Chicken caesar salad with a breadstick and fruited jello
- Friday, May 8 - Barbecue chicken pizza with a side salad and fresh fruit
- Thursday, May 14 - Sausage tortellini soup with garlic bread and a brownie
-
Thursday, May 28 - Sweet & sour pork with stir fried vegetables, rice and a cookie
Help us keep the momentum going by supporting our Meals on Wheels program. Whether through a food or monetary donation, or spreading the word, you’re helping connect local seniors with fresh, locally sourced meals and the community that makes them possible.
If you want to see your local products feed local seniors, we’d love to connect. Learn more about working with our Meals on Wheels program by contacting Kitchen Manager, Tribin Holbrook, at tholbrook@coppershores.org or call 1 (906) 483-1155 ext. 2032.
