Senior Mobile Support Program

Many of our older neighbors struggle between choosing to pay for medicine, utility bills or food.

The Senior Mobile Support Program currently serves residents of Lakewood Towers, an independent living facility in Lake Villa, where residency is based on financial criteria. The majority of residents are low-income and food insecure. Only .5% of these residents are on food stamps.

Most of our clients at Lakewood Towers do not drive and are unable to go to Open Arms Mission on their own. So, once a week, we deliver:

• Fresh, perishable and non-perishable foods;
• Personal hygiene products; and
• Cleaning supplies.

We provide healthy food choices specifically designed for the elderly and those on restricted diets, such as those with diabetes.

The program currently serves more than 35 residents per week, but we’ve had interest in expanding the program to four additional sites.
