MEALS FOR COMPANION PETS
BMOW delivers pet food once a month to homebound seniors who need assistance taking care of their in-home pets. We request contributions per pet for each delivery made. Pet food is provided through the generosity of community donations.
EMERGENCY MEALS
BMOW delivers a 14-day supply of emergency meals to seniors who are returning home from the hospital or who suddenly find themselves in need of immediate assistance. This is a one-time only service allowing seniors the chance to recover or make arrangements for continuing meal services. Donations are strongly encouraged to assist BMOW in continuing all services.
