The Meals on Wheels Foundation
is a not-for- profit organization created to:
- increase public awareness of the services provided by Community Nutrition Network and Senior Services Association
- gain support, both in charitable donations and other funding for the home delivery of meals to suburban Cook, Grundy and Kendall County, Illinois seniors
- assist Community Nutrition Network and Senior Services Association with the expansion of all needed services to isolated low-income seniors in Cook, Grundy and Kendall County, Illinois
The Meals on Wheels Foundation of Cook County was created in 2001 as an organizational affiliate of the Community Nutrition Network for which it serves as the fundraising, public awareness, and community outreach arm. Along with support from the Foundation, CNN is also funded in part through a grant from Age Options and Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging under Title III-C of the Older Americans Act as administered through the Illinois Department on Aging and Federal Administration on Aging. The Meals on Wheels Foundation receives no public funding.
