The pandemic brought significant uncertainty and fear, and those years of isolation took an especially heavy toll on our elderly neighbors. Through bingo events, senior-palooza celebrations, dances, and other social activities, Meals on Wheels Chicago is encouraging seniors to reconnect with their communities. These events also offer corporate sponsorship opportunities, such as providing wellness-themed Raffle Prizes for seniors.

Meals on Wheels Chicago hosts the Nourish Chicago Pantry at a local senior center, the Central West Senior Center at 2102 W. Ogden Ave., the fourth Tuesday of every month from 1pm to 3pm. Bring your team together to provide nutritious items and promote wellness in the community. Your team members can take on different roles, including organizing inventory, set-up and break-down, handing out food, and helping seniors carry grocery bags.
