The blog post linked below was written by Meals on Wheels America, and it’s extremely relevant here in our community. Currently our Meals on Wheels program has a waiting list of more than 50 people. It’s something we know is important, and something we’re working to find solutions for.
Thank you to our partner, The Bluffs Senior Community, for hosting the second annual Bingo Bonanza at the Bluffs, uniting community members of all ages and raising over $1,600 for Meals on Wheels.
Robyn Matthews has a lifetime of experience working in kitchens and feeding people. Now Matthews is taking those skills to Keweenaw Pines, working as the new site coordinator for Meet & Eat.
Staff Spotlight: Fay Kemppainen
So many staff go above and beyond for their senior friends and Fay is no exception. Every week, Fay hosts the Maple Lane Meet & Eat site in Lake Linden and the attendees adore her. Fay bakes cupcakes for birthdays, shares funny stories, and brings a sense of humor that keeps the seniors coming back each week. Fay's infectious and positive attitude is a delight to be around and we're grateful she shares her time with others.
Training with LBFE
We recently got together with Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly to train on topics related to aging and elder abuse. We're proud to work with LBFE and serve seniors in the Copper Country, together.
