Focus: HOPE distributes food packages to over 42,000 seniors throughout Southeast Michigan each month. During the pandemic, they’ve had over 4,000 people sign up to receive food, and at the same time, their volunteer pool has become much smaller.
They rely on hundreds of monthly volunteer hours to assemble food packages for low-income seniors and deliver food to homebound older adults in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw counties.
Senior Holiday Delivery
During their annual Senior Holiday Food Delivery day, volunteers deliver holiday food & paper supplies to 1,400 homebound seniors across Southeast Michigan.
The Delivery Day is scheduled for Saturday, December 19. To ensure safety for all those involved, they have adjusted the event procedures for this year. They are scheduling contactless food box pickups for volunteers throughout the morning of 12/19 on their Oakman campus. Volunteers will then drop off the food boxes (including a frozen turkey, vegetables, condiments and more) at recipients’ doors, and will call recipients to let them know their items have arrived. Masks will be required throughout the pickup & delivery process for everyone involved.
Pre-registration is required for all interested volunteers, to ensure a fast, smooth, and safe experience for all. Click here to register as a volunteer: https://bit.ly/seniorholiday.
