Community Projects for Seniors Holiday Meal Program delivers meals on holidays including Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving to approximately 4,000 low-income seniors living in subsidized apartment buildings.

A kid-designed holiday placemat is delivered with each meal. Click here if your family would like to join us in making placemats as well!  

Individuals who sign up for a meal usually don’t have family in the area (or at all), don’t have a place to go for the holidays (or access to transportation), can’t easily walk or drive (due to weather and/or a disability), can’t afford to buy a holiday meal or find it physically challenging to cook. Meal recipients report that they love their holiday meals; not just the yummy food, but also the loving experience volunteers provide them.

Activities

Deliver a free, hot and hearty, ready-to-eat meal to low-income seniors in Milwaukee on Easter Sunday.
