Meals on Wheels Chicago had a busy summer!

Partnered with Chicago Magazine

We worked with Chicago Magazine at their Best Restaurants event as the charity partner for this year. Chicago Magazine did a great job of welcoming us, and we were able to connect with hundreds of attendees who we now consider a part of the Meals on Wheels Chicago family. Chicago Magazine donated a portion of proceeds from each ticket and raised $2,766 for our home delivered meals. In addition to this donation, Chicago Magazine offered a free subscription to their magazine for all of our email subscribers. Thanks Chicago Magazine!

If you missed out on this opportunity, there will be more – make sure you join our email list today at mealsonwheelschicago.org/subscribe.

Kicked off our first annual Nourish Our City Birthday Fundraiser

Meals on Wheels Chicago announced its first annual Nourish Our City fundraiser on Thursday, August 8th in celebration of our 32nd birthday. Chicago bars and restaurants participated in the city-wide day of giving by making a donation to MoWC through their food and beverage sales on August 8. Donations supported MoWC programs that improve quality of life and maximize independence for Chicago’s homebound community. Thanks to all of our restaurant partners we raised over $4,000!
