Meals on Wheels Chicago’s Hunger Takes No Holiday Campaign Aims to Deliver Five Tons of Food to Seniors
One in 6 seniors in our community are facing hunger this holiday season. Please take action on behalf of your neighbors by giving to the Hunger Takes No Holiday campaign. Your contribution will help seniors who feel forgotten and alone, making a direct impact on their daily lives.
Meals on Wheels Chicago is running the Hunger Takes No Holiday campaign through the end of year to raise additional funds to support seniors experiencing hunger.
"Thank you for thinking of seniors. Don't quit. You will be old one day and grateful for younger people helping you out." Molette, Nourish Chicago Pantry Guest
This program is facing a funding crisis and needs your support to continue. Nourish Chicago Pantry offers high-quality items for seniors, just like what you can buy at the grocery store, for free. This ensures every senior walks away with the freshest food that will last weeks or even months in their pantries.
Over 5 tons of fresh food is distributed at each pantry event! That adds up to at least 30 healthy meals for every senior who walks through the door. Your gift, no matter the amount, goes into action the very next day.
