Story
Our local ER and Clinical Support Staff are working tirelessly to keep us all safe while we are staying home to keep them safe. Let's give back and help fuel them with meals at this critical time.
This is also a chance to support our local restaurants and delivery drivers.
STAY HOME AND HEALTHY, and ORDER MEALS to be DELIVERED to WEISS!
Please use the CALENDAR below to CLAIM the day you (or your group) would like to provide a lunch or dinner to Weiss front line staff.
Once claimed, please indicate HOW MANY meals you are able to provide and the name of the restaurant you would like to arrange to have the food delivered from. (THE CALENDAR BELOW IS JUST A WAY TO RESERVE THE DAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO CLAIM).
While we suggest you (OR YOU AND A GROUP) purchase 25 meals—ANY amount of meals will help!
You pick any local restaurant of your choice to place your order and use their delivery service, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Door Dash, or any other delivery service.

STEPS TO CLAIM A FOOD DELIVERY DAY
1. On the calendar below, please select date/time of your choice by clicking "claim" to commit to sponsoring a lunch or dinner time slot.
2. QUANTITY - 25 (or whatever amount you – or your group – are comfortable with!)
3. You pick any local restaurant of your choice to place your order and use their delivery service or Grub Hub/Uber Eats/Door Dash. NO PERSONAL DELIVERIES. NO GIFT CARDS.
4. In your claimed spot please specify where the delivery will be from and a brief description of what is ordered - this is very helpful for the hospital so they know what to expect. Please note: food must be individually wrapped and sealed—no large tin family-style pans. Pizza is the ONLY exception.
5. Provide restaurant/delivery person with specific instructions on where to deliver and the number to call ahead of the delivery. Provide these delivery details:
DELIVER TO: Weiss Memorial Hospital, 4646 N. Marine Drive, Chicago, IL 60640, Main Entrance circle drive – valet area. Call (773) 564-5000 and someone will run out to accept the food delivery.
6. Deliveries must be made at specific time listed below on the calendar. Please note when calling to place your order please mention that you are donating your meal as we have found many restaurants are providing some type of discount for your good deed! ER folks are not picky, and anything is welcome.
Also, please keep your receipts and check with your accountants/tax preparers to find out if you can utilize this as a tax deductible donation. - We are doing our part by staying home, but this is one small thing we can do as a community to mobilize behind those that must go to work to help our communities!
