Become a Volunteer Meal Driver: Just 2 Hours a Week

Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois

For thousands of older adults across Illinois, a knock at the door is more than just a food delivery—it is a vital lifeline. At Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWFNI), we are dedicated to helping our senior neighbors live independently, safely, and with dignity in the homes they love. We achieve this through nutritious food, wellness checks, and the power of human connection, but we cannot do it alone. The Power of Our Volunteers Our volunteers are the heartbeat of MOWFNI. If you have just two hours a week to spare, you can make a profound difference. Delivering meals fits seamlessly into a midday routine or lunch break. As a volunteer driver, you do far more than hand over a meal; you provide a friendly smile, a warm conversation, and a crucial safety check for a senior who might not see anyone else that day. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to volunteer weekly, monthly, or as part of a team with coworkers or friends. Our Core Programs: Home-Delivered Meals: We provide hot, dietitian-approved meals delivered directly to the doorsteps of those who cannot cook or shop for themselves. Community Cafes: Beyond home delivery, our vibrant Community Cafes offer a welcoming space for active older adults to gather, enjoy a delicious lunch, socialize, and build meaningful friendships that combat senior isolation. Make a Local Impact Today When you support or volunteer with MOWFNI, you are directly investing in the health and happiness of older adults right here in our neighborhood. Whether you are looking to give back during retirement, connect with your community, or get your local business involved in a meaningful cause, there is a place for you in our volunteer family. Join us in delivering more than a meal. Visit mowfni.org/volunteer-sign-up to fill out a brief volunteer application, or call us today to learn how you can start changing lives—one hour, one smile, and one senior at a time.

OSWEGO, IL — Hell's BBQ is reversing its decision from earlier this summer to shutter its doors. Owners announced Sunday the restaurant will instead open in the space formerly occupied by Danelli's Italian Restaurant. The barbecue joint plans to move to 228 E. Washington St. in downtown Oswego, though an opening date has not yet been announced. "We can't wait to show you what we have in store," owner Keith Richards wrote on Facebook. "The next chapter will bring the smoke, the flavor, and the heart you've come to know from Hell's BBQ."

Richards said at the time he intended to continue Hell's BBQ's food truck and catering services. Richards founded the establishment as a catering business in 2014 before he opened the brick-and-mortar restaurant in 2022. Until the restaurant opens in downtown Oswego, the Hell's BBQ food truck has been posting up at 111 S. Lake St. in Montgomery.
