“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.
