Meals on Wheels
Nutritious Meals Delivered to Your Door
Good nutrition is key to maintaining independence as we age. We deliver hot, nutritious meals to seniors five days a week, helping them live safely in their own homes. With no cost to participants, only an optional contribution, this service ensures that no senior goes hungry.
Community Cafés
Welcoming Spaces for Older Adults
Older adults aged 60 and up, along with their spouses and eligible individuals with disabilities, are invited to enjoy nutritious meals at various convenient locations. There is no cost to participants, though we do ask for a voluntary contribution. No one is ever denied service if they are unable or unwilling to contribute.
Dine Around Town
Nutritious Meals in a Social Setting
Enjoy a healthy, balanced meal in a welcoming restaurant setting or take your meal to go. Each meal meets federal nutrition standards and is approved by a registered dietitian to support the well-being of older adults. While there is a suggested $6.00 donation, no one is ever turned away due to inability to contribute.
Supporting Seniors, Strengthening Communities
More than 450,000 seniors in Illinois face food insecurity. Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWNFI) provides senior meal services and resources to help older adults and individuals with disabilities lead healthy, active lives. Since the 1970s, we’ve worked to ensure no senior goes hungry, promoting connection and community. As needs grow, we remain committed to supporting those we serve.
