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.
