Save the date for next year!
Friday, October 20, 2023
6pm – 11pm
The Gergahty
To celebrate 35 years of Chicago’s Meals on Wheels program, dozens of top chefs and mixologists will come together to create a special evening of fine dining. The Ball begins with a cocktail reception followed by a truly unique and extravagant experience where every table is a chef’s table! A team of chefs will prepare a six-course meal right in front of your table, personally presenting their creations. Opportunities to win stellar experiences while supporting our cause are available during the live auction and paddle raise.
Proceeds benefit Chicago’s homebound seniors and people with disabilities struggling with food insecurity.
This event is black tie optional. As this is a unique culinary experience, we cannot accommodate special requests or dietary restrictions.
Meet The Co-Chairs!
Meet The Chefs!
The Chefs are the real star of the show! Chefs and restaurants make this event possible, donating their time, talent, and resources to create a spectacular evening for Meals on Wheels Chicago supporters. Meals on Wheels Chicago is grateful to the many chefs and restaurants participating in this year’s event. We will continue adding to this list, so check back often!
