Seniors Eat (S.EAT)

Part of the ChefsGiveBack initiative, CGB selects 1-2 senior resident buildings every two months to provide meals to senior residents March-September. Partnering with the building’s resident manager, CGB can target senior residents listed on the frail list those just in need of a hot meal. Often, these are the seniors who may have a disability, and no relatives or loved ones to check on them. Not only will delivering meals provide food but also a friendly face. Through this initiative, PPE and other needed items are also delivered as they become available.

Since its start in 2021, ChiGivesBack has provided almost 5,000 meals to senior homes on Chicago’s south and west sides. Partnering with ten local Chicagoland Chefs, this initiative has impacted residents in the Garfield Park, Bronzeville, and Englewood neighborhoods.
