7th Annual
March for Meals
benefiting The Helm Meals on Wheels Program
Virtual Edition
The 7th Annual March for Meals benefiting The Helm Meals on Wheels program is a virtual walk. You can march, walk, run, bike, skip, jump, or hop on the sidewalk, a treadmill, or in your backyard. Or you don’t have to walk at all. However you choose to support us is your secret!
All walk proceeds benefit the Meals on Wheels program at The Helm. In 2024, we delivered 29,065 meals to homebound Harper Woods and Grosse Pointe residents unable to safely prepare meals for themselves. That was an increase of 12% from 2023 and a whopping 39% increase since 2022. As our population continues to age, the need for Meals on Wheels continues to grow.
The price of food has impacted the cost of Meal on Wheels. It now costs $7 to provide one meal.
$1,000 provides 140 meals.
$500 provides 70 meals.
$250 provides 35 meals.
