Taylor Benton highlights Milestone Senior Services' Meals on Wheels program in Kalamazoo

At the recent City Commission meeting in Battle Creek, the spotlight shone on the vital work of Milestone Senior Services, as Director of Nutrition Taylor Benton highlighted the organization's commitment to serving seniors in Kalamazoo and Calhoun Counties. With over 60 years of experience, Milestone's Meals on Wheels program delivers nutritious meals to homebound individuals aged 60 and older, ensuring they receive essential support.

Benton emphasized the importance of their volunteer-driven approach, with dedicated individuals helping to deliver meals Monday through Friday. These volunteers not only provide nourishment but also foster connections, addressing any additional needs that seniors may have. The organization also offers congregate meal programs, encouraging socialization among seniors to combat isolation.

This month, Milestone Senior Services is raising awareness about the significance of their programs and the need for volunteers and fundraising efforts. Benton urged community members to consider getting involved, reinforcing the message that every contribution helps enhance the lives of local seniors. As the organization continues its mission, the community's support remains crucial in sustaining these essential services.
