WHO: Holiday Meals on Wheels feeds thousands of homebound seniors. Due to Federal funds being unavailable during the holidays, campaigns, fundraisers and private contributions help raise funds to feed seniors. This year’s holiday meal deliveries are made possible by the contributions of UAW Ford, Detroit Area Agency on Aging, and the hundreds of individuals, partnering organizations, corporations, and churches.  These contributions allow the Detroit Area Agency on Aging to feed a needy senior on Easter, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.   http://www.DetroitSeniorSolution.com
