Social Events and Celebrations
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.
Healthy Cooking Demonstrations
Putting 23 years of experience to good use, Chicago Chef Cory Morris partners with corporations and Meals on Wheels Chicago supporters to host cooking demonstrations at local senior centers. Each interactive demonstration educates seniors on how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals. Chef Morris offers food safety tips and healthy eating habits for healthy living.
Making Wellness Packs
Meals on Wheels Chicago invites our corporate partners to provide wellness items and other home essentials so our seniors can use their limited income for food and medicine. Laundry supplies, dental hygiene items, and cleaning products further the health of our seniors. Every wellness pack will go to a senior visiting the Nourish Chicago Pantry.
