HMOW is designed to reach out to county's older diverse community members especially the isolated, underserved, and often chronically disabled. The program started with 45 clients and now serves more than 600 older members and their families throughout the county. AMSS outreach has focused on zip codes with high concentrations of communities of color with health disparities.The program is conducted by teams of AMSS Multicultural Health and Long-Term Care Outreach Ambassadors who provide friendly phone calls, home visits, and the delivery of bi-weekly hot halal meals. In addition and to ensure proper nutrition for our seniors and their families, we are delivering along with hot meals non-perishable food, and fresh produce.
The American Muslim Senior Society (AMSS) “Halal Meals on Wheels” reflects AMSS
mission to serve the long-term care needs of seniors, and caregivers, who are
isolated and cannot access essential services.
The AMSS Ambassadors' role will be to conduct monthly visits, make friendly calls,
and provide services to caregivers by connecting them through our partnership with
the appropriate agencies in Montgomery County.
