Delivering Dinner and Joy to Your Doorstep
Cook & Connect
A Taste of Aging Well
Mather’s mission is to support Ways to Age Well℠ for all older adults. We’re introducing a new program that offers adults 55+ in select Chicago zip codes a unique opportunity to experience delicious, healthy meals with high-quality, non-processed ingredients; try some new cooking techniques; and set mindful cooking habits.
In collaboration with Evanston-based meal kit delivery business Meez Meals, we will have FREE meal kits delivered right to your door.
This is not a subscription service. No commitment or purchase required.
How It Works
Getting Started Is as Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Step 1: Select your zip code from the drop-down menu below to see if you’re eligible for this program. Then, submit the form to tell us more about your meal preferences, dietary restrictions, and any food allergies we should be aware of, and we’ll customize each meal for you.
Step 2: Meez Meals will reach out directly with your meal delivery schedule.
Step 3: Enjoy your free and fresh meals! You will receive a new kit every week for six weeks, and each kit will contain four servings total.
Program Eligibility
Cook & Connect is available to Illinois residents age 55+ in select zip codes and can be redeemed once per household per calendar year.
