Sen. Sue Rezin Teams Up with VAC of Northern Illinois and Meridian Health to Provide Thanksgiving Turkeys for Meals on Wheels

More than 700 residents in need will be able to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal thanks to a partnership between Illinois Senate Deputy Minority Leader Sue Rezin, Voluntary Action Center (VAC) of Northern Illinois, and Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc.

“Thanksgiving is not only a time to give thanks for the things we have in our life, but the chance to assist those who may be in need,” said Senator Rezin. “I am truly grateful for the opportunity to partner with Meridian Health and Voluntary Action Center of Northern Illinois to help ensure that families within our community are able to celebrate this holiday with a traditional Thanksgiving meal.”

On Friday, November 22, 150 donated turkeys were delivered to the Voluntary Action Center of Northern Illinois’ headquarters to be used for Meals on Wheels’ Thanksgiving dinners in DeKalb, LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam Counties. The turkeys will be cooked at the facility and included in traditional Thanksgiving meals that will be delivered to roughly 700 residents in need on Thanksgiving Day.
