Meals on Wheels closed March 24, 2025 due to winter weather.

Drivers will not be delivering meals today due to dangerous road conditions. Meet & Eat sites will also be closed. Seniors are asked to use their emergency meal kit. If seniors have questions or concerns, please call 1 (906) 483-1155.

Houghton County Millage for Elder Nutritional Services

No senior should feel the indignity of being without access to nutritious meals and social connection.

As the senior population has grown, so too has the demand for home-delivered meal services. In the last three years, Copper Shores Meals on Wheels has doubled the number of people served daily, reaching current organizational capacity.

Within the state of Michigan, only five counties do not have a millage to support senior nutritional services. Copper Shores Meals on Wheels serves two of those counties - Houghton and Keweenaw. These are the only two counties in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula without millage support.

"For us what made Copper Shores special was their ability to change people's lives within our small community, and by that I mean especially the lives of our youth. Copper Shores is a huge asset and resource for our community. Life needs difference makers and that's just what Copper Shores is all about."
Kip McIntyrePat's Motorsports in Greenland Township
"Copper Shores has been a critical partner for the Village of L'Anse and our community partners - working together to help bring important community initiatives addressing the nexus of health, recreation and culture. The broad based approaches utilized by Copper Shores, and the willingness to listen to community needs is making a lasting impact. We are a stronger community because of the foundation's commitment to us."
