Wayne County seeks 200 Meals on Wheels volunteers for local communities

The Lincoln Park City Council meeting on April 14, 2025, highlighted several community-focused initiatives, including a call for volunteers to support the Meals on Wheels program in Wayne County. The program is seeking 200 additional volunteers to assist in delivering meals across over 34 communities in the area. Flyers with more information will be available on the city’s website and social media platforms, encouraging residents to get involved in this vital service.

In addition to the volunteer appeal, the meeting celebrated the contributions of City Clerk Carrie, who has dedicated many years to serving the city and providing valuable guidance to council members. The council also shared updates from the library commission, announcing an upcoming spring book sale from May 3 to May 10, organized by the Friends of the Library. Donations for the sale are still being accepted, and the library continues to engage the community with events such as a successful kids' story time featuring a therapy dog and a popular nerf event.

Furthermore, the council member highlighted a special initiative for Autism Awareness Month, promoting the sale of Lingard Park Police tumblers. Proceeds from these sales will benefit the Mixture Institute, which supports special education and autism spectrum disorder programs at the local high school. The tumblers are available for purchase at the police station, with inquiries directed to Community Sergeant Sean Nicholas.

As the meeting concluded, council members expressed their best wishes for the upcoming Easter holiday, reminding residents to enjoy the changing seasons while staying prepared for Michigan's unpredictable weather. The discussions underscored the council's commitment to fostering community engagement and support for local initiatives.
