Delivered with a Smile: NCJW | MI and JFS celebrate 50-year partnership of Kosher Meals on Wheels

On one of her shifts delivering Kosher Meals on Wheels, volunteer Evva Hepner walked up to a home, knocked on the door and announced why she was there. “The participant opened the door telling me: ‘You are angels on wheels,”” recalls Hepner, 72, who lives in Farmington Hills. That sentiment is echoed by many homebound older adults, who can remain in their own homes because of the essential meals service offered by National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan (NCJW|MI) and Jewish Family Service of Metropolitan Detroit (JFS) and which is now celebrating its 50th anniversary.
