Pasty Partnership with Krupp’s
We continue making connections with local producers, farmers and restaurants, like Krupp’s Mini Mart in Twin Lakes. Krupp’s makes one of the Upper Peninsula’s most well known and celebrated foods, the pasty, and they donated hundreds to Meals on Wheels for all of the seniors! We’re so lucky to have a partner like them, and hope you take a moment to get to know them with our latest video! Watch the video.

Staff Spotlight - Susan Verville
Seniors never go unnoticed on holidays, thanks to Susan and her handmade cards. We serve nearly 300 seniors a day, and Susan has made Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards for each one of them. Susan's organization skills, kindness and willingness to try new tasks make for a perfect combination. Susan helps with administrative tasks, but you can also find her in the kitchen helping prepare meals and cleaning. We enjoy Susan's sense of humor and are happy to have her working with us in serving the seniors of our community. Susan is working at Copper Shores Meals on Wheels as part of the Senior Community Service Employment Program through the AARP Foundation. This program helps people over age 55 learn new work skills and we are happy to have Susan as part of the Meals on Wheels team.
