Daily Lunches

We provide a meal site for Meals on Wheels of Southwest MI Senior Nutrition Services to serve lunches daily Monday through Friday at 11:30 AM. Senior Nutrition Meals are supported by Area Agency on Aging (Region IV). Menu is subject to change without notice. Donations are requested.

Transportation

Volunteers donate their time to drive the center’s VAN/CAR and wheelchair accessible van to provide this service for seniors who do not have other means of transportation. This includes medical appointments, grocery shopping, hair-dresser, and rides to the center for lunch. Transportation is available 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is limited to certain areas of Berrien County. Donations are very much appreciated. (Transportation supported by Area Agency on Aging IV)
