Before you start preparing your meals, there’s a few things we’d love to share with you about our dedication to providing services to older adults in your community. Often times, the commitment of friends like you sustains our older neighbors during the most challenging times of their lives.

Meals on Wheels Foundation of Northern Illinois is providing nutritious meals and friendly visits to nearly 8,000 neighbors in Cook, Grundy, Kendall and Will counties. That’s our highest total ever! And as the cost of living continues to rise, we expect the need to continue to grow. Seniors are being forced to make choices between essentials like food and medication that put their wellbeing at risk. Whatever the reason they are struggling, they are mothers, fathers, friends and loved ones. They are people like Jenny and Ernie from Will County.

“I just wanted you to know how grateful my dad and I are for all of the meals we receive,” Jenny wrote to us. “They help us tremendously … We are grateful for the meals and all the people who deliver and make the meals.”

Help ensure no one in your community has to skip a meal — or more — to pay a medical bill, keep the heat on or take their lifesaving medicine each day.
