Jackson County Department on Aging - Meals on Wheels Van (Consumer's Energy) Ribbon Cutting

Join us as we celebrate a significant investment in supporting older adults throughout Jackson County with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Jackson County Department on Aging's new electric Meals on Wheels vehicle.

The event will take place on Tuesday, July 28, beginning at 10:30 AM, with the official ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for 10:45 AM.

The Jackson County Department on Aging is excited to enter the electric vehicle world through the generous support of Consumers Energy. In addition to donating the Ford E-Transit, Consumers Energy provided funding for the charging station and the necessary electrical infrastructure, making this project possible.

This important investment will help strengthen the Meals on Wheels program for years to come. The vehicle is used to deliver nutritious meals to older adults throughout Jackson County, serving a route that reaches more than 60 individuals each weekday. Beyond meal delivery, the program also provides valuable wellness checks that help older adults remain safe, connected, and independent.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the impact of the Meals on Wheels program, see the new electric vehicle, and celebrate the partnerships that made this project possible.

Light refreshments will be available for attendees.

We invite you to join us in recognizing this investment in the health, well-being, and independence of older adults across Jackson County.
