The Kane Senior Council, along with State representative Stephanie Kifowit (D-Oswego), representative Barbara Hernandez, and representative Keith Wheeler, are partners for the third consecutive year to provide frozen meals for seniors who reside in Kane County.
“No one should have to worry about having enough to eat. It is so gratifying to be able to help provide our seniors with convenient access to meals,” said Kifowit.
Adults who are 60 and over and reside in Kane County, plus veterans of all ages who live in Kane County are eligible for five frozen meals in a drive-through distribution at St. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church, 1855 5th Avenue, Aurora.
The meals will be available on Mondays from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. on the following dates:
• March 28;
• April 11 and 25;
• May 9 and 23;
• June 13 and 27;
• July 11 and 25;
• August 8 and 22;
• September 12 and 26;
• October 3 and 24.
“I am happy to have the opportunity to work with the Kane Senior Council to help give back to members of my community who are so deserving,” said representative Hernandez (D-Aurora). “No one should have to live while being uncertain whether they’ll have another meal. This event is just one step we plan to take to combat food insecurity.”
“Our older neighbors and loved ones on fixed incomes need our support, which is why I’m pleased to partner with representative Kifowit and representative Hernandez for the third straight year to offer regular and convenient meal assistance to seniors in Kane County,” said Keith Wheeler (R-Oswego). “We look forward to lending a helping hand each month from March through October this year with expanded dates and more food.”
Those eligible must register with registration closing the Friday prior to each distribution before noon. Those currently enrolled in Meals on Wheels are not eligible.
