About The Cause

we could all use a little magic

Thursday, November 14 | Union Station, Chicago | 6 PM CST

Culinary Care is a nonprofit making nourishment part of everyone’s cancer care — delivering free restaurant-prepared meals and community support at a time when it’s needed most. This year’s event theme, 'The Magic of Hospitality,' highlights the impact of care, connection, and a thoughtfully prepared meal.

We currently nourish 750 families through their cancer recoveries annually. With your help, we can bring the magic of Culinary Care to hundreds more. We can’t wait to see you in November!
