Here at Q101 we’re on a mission to help the Greater Chicago Food Depository end hunger by connecting our neighbors with healthy food, and advancing solutions that address the root causes of hunger.
So we are hosting THE GREAT GIVEBACK! Any dollar you can donate now helps provide food directly in our community and to local food banks.
We have a limited number of volunteer spots available during the morning shift (9:00am – 11:45am) or the the afternoon shift (1:00pm – 3:45pm) on Wednesday, April 19th.
Sign up here if you’re interested in volunteering with us, and which shift you prefer. Due to limited space, we will contact you Monday, April 10th to confirm your spot.
All volunteers are required to be vaccinated, including youth volunteers. You will be asked to verbally attest your vaccination status before each volunteer opportunity. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, anyone who has been exposed to COVID-19, or has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and is not yet cleared as non-contagious is not permitted in the building at this time.
In response to food insecurity in Lake and northern Cook counties, Meals on Wheels Northeastern Illinois fosters health and independence by delivering fresh, flavorful, and nutritious meals to homebound seniors, disabled individuals, and others unable to shop and/or cook for themselves.
Last year alone, Meals on Wheels NE Illinois delivered more than 80,000 meals with the help of more than 500 volunteers. Be apart of this amazing cause and volunteer here!
