- Description:
- This collection contains information on the Mobile Meals program which was a project of the College Women's Volunteer Service in greater Lansing, Michigan. Included are annual reports, Board of Directors lists, by-laws and policies, and other information. From a document on Mobile Meals history in the collection: The Lansing area Junior League and the Health Committee of the Project on Aging conducted a survey in 1959 to determine meal needs for area senior citizens. The pilot project with five subscribers began in 1960 with support from the AFL-CIO, and it was formally adopted by the College Women's Volunteer Service in September of that year. It received further sponsorship from Sparrow Hospital, the Lansing Automobile Dealers Association, and the American Red Cross. It was incorporated in December, 1960, as Meals on Wheels. Due to the success of the program and related publicity, in 1967 the project's name was changed to Mobile Meals because the rights to Meals on Wheels were exclusively held by another group. The Mobile Meals project ran for over 40 years, but due to the loss of a signficant funding source and a steadily decreasing number of clients, service was ended in December 2004, and the organization was dissolved in 2006.

- Description:
- This is a collection of approximately 500,000 pages of microform material from one or more departments of the City of Lansing, which date from 1964 to about 1985. Much of the material is undated, and the bulk of what has dates was produced in the late 1970s. Based on subject titles typed onto each microfiche sleeve, a large portion of the material is related to Lansing's participation in the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant program. This program, initiated in 1974 during the administration of President Gerald Ford, attempts to eliminate poverty and urban blight with control largely placed in the hands of state and local authorities. Typical materials in this collection include minutes and agendas for various committees such as Zoning or Parks and Recreation, correspondence, chronological files, interoffice files, and subject files. See the linked spreadsheet (.xlsx format) for a listing of all subjects represented in this collection. To request any of the material, note the item number, name, and box it appears in. Digital copies of microfiche pages are available on request. Acronyms appear frequently throughout the material titles. They are as follows: CACHPA - Capital Area Comprehensive Health Planning Association CD - Citizens District or Community Development CDBG - Community Development Block Grant Program CDC - Citizens District Council/Committee or Community Development Council/Committee CIP - Capital Improvements Program CRP - Community Renewal Program EHAB - Environmental Health Advisory Board (?)
