More than a Meal Since 1974
Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley, was awarded the $500,000 Grand Prize at the Vital Seniors Competition celebration Tuesday, Nov. 13.
The award is part of a $2.5 million initiative by the Glacier Hills Legacy Fund and the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation to fund innovative support programs for seniors and their caregivers in Washtenaw County.
Edgar is a Meals on Wheels recipient. He’s also an author, a musician and a dad.
Thanks to Meals on Wheels, one thing he isn’t is a burden to his busy children.
At 51, he’s among the youngest of YMOW’s 200-plus clients. And as the father of a 27-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son, Edgar said he’s grateful for the freedom that YMOW affords his children and the security he has knowing he’ll always have a meal to eat.
