"They don't get a lot of Interaction, so not only is it providing nutrition to them, but it’s providing that moment of warm conversation and engagement for them," said Kayla Perry with the DAAA.
Once out the door, the deliveries go to seniors in Detroit, Hamtramck, Harper Woods, Highland Park and Grosse Pointe.
"We still have to give back to the ones who paved the way for us," said volunteer Latawn Crocker. "So if it’s a matter of getting up early to make sure we’re preparing these meals that we know someone is eating today, so that’s what it’s about.
