At Copper Shores Meals on Wheels, the dedicated staff believe that every meal is not just food, but also a heartfelt connection to our community. With unwavering hard work and compassion, our team pours their love into every single bite, ensuring that our seniors feel cherished and supported.
This October, we’re excited to share a menu that highlights at least one local ingredient every day, made possible by the generous $1.28 million LFPA Grant. Meals on Wheels’ commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients not only nourishes the body but also nurtures the spirit. It’s a way to honor our community’s farmers and celebrate the flavors that bring us together.
