The new space at 2900 Wilson in Grandville will help meet increasing demand from the areaâs growing senior population and the growth of services during the COVID-19 pandemic. âThe senior population is growing very fast and the food crisis that resulted from COVID showed us that we need to be ready for even larger numbers of hungry people than anyone expected,â said Lisa Wideman, CEO of Meals on Wheels West Michigan. âAt one point, demand for our services had increased 35 percent over our normal. We met that demand with a waiting list. This additional space will ensure that no senior in Kent or Allegan County is put on a waiting list.â
