Meet Nathaniel
Nathaniel has lived in Chicago his whole life.
But after losing his wife, he was worried about remaining in his favorite city. Nathaniel is unable to walk and after his wife passed away, he no longer could provide for himself. Grocery shopping is nearly impossible, and cooking is extremely difficult.
So, Nathaniel signed up for Meals on Wheels Chicago.
Now, Nathaniel gets food delivered right to his refrigerator door. Since the box of meals is heavy and Nathaniel cannot lift them, his driver delivers the meals to his kitchen. In addition to bringing fresh food, Nathaniel’s delivery driver also brings a new joke every week.
Nathaniel is among thousands of people who, if not for Meals on Wheels Chicago, would go hungry.
