Special Event Support

Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels holds several annual fundraisers to support our work in the community. None of these events would be possible without the generosity of volunteers like you.

From serving on a planning committee to helping the day of an event, there is a job for everyone.

Valentine’s Day Card-making

You can show our clients a little love this Valentine’s Day by:

• making cards the day of the event.
• donating supplies such as paper and decorations.
• recruiting friends and family to join in on the fun.

Pi(e) and a Pint

March 14 is Pi Day, a day to celebrate the infinite mathematical constant that, like hunger, knows no end.

Held at Cultivate in Ypsilanti, YMOW’s Pie and a Pint event raises money to stop hunger among our local homebound neighbors while encouraging guests to treat themselves to pie, pizza and drinks.

Volunteers can help by:

• securing donations of pies and pizzas from area businesses.
• serving pie, pizza and drinks at the event.
• assisting at the event.
• gathering friends and family to attend.
