Host a Team Volunteer Day at the Nourish Chicago Food Pantry
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.
Write Love Notes for Homebound and Isolated Seniors
84% of our senior clients report that their Meals on Wheels delivery driver is the only person they see all week. These levels of isolation can be deadly. Remind seniors they are loved and valued with hand-written, thoughtfully created notes.
Celebrate Seniors at City Senior Centers
Does your company organize volunteer opportunities? We need your help at the City’s Senior Centers! Volunteer with your coworkers to organize a game of bingo and serve lunch.
Create Wellness Packs
Coordinate a collection of items to support the health and wellness of seniors (a list of suggestions would be provided), and put together individual Wellness Packs for seniors together as a team. Wellness Packs are then distributed to seniors in need throughout Chicago.
Offer Professional Services
Does your company offer professional services to nonprofits? Share your skills with Meals on Wheels Chicago! We are always looking for extra help from industry professionals to help us advance our mission. Specific areas of need include videography, marketing, social media management, fundraising, finance, and law.
