Everyone can make a difference for Meals on Wheels Chicago. These local supporters registered for the virtual 5K to raise money to support fresh food for seniors and people with disabilities.

“I can place my little grain of sand and add to that a very thin veneer of civilization… I’m a very firm believer in the incremental approach; things change because individuals move their little grain of sand.” – Dr. M. Cherif Bassiouni

As in life, Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni decided to move his little grain of sand in his passing by leaving a bequest to Meals on Wheels Chicago. His generous gift allows Meals on Wheels Chicago to further our mission, providing a much-needed pool of funds to expand our programs and invest in the future of home meal delivery.
