One of our longtime nonprofit partners celebrated a huge milestone last week, and we were proud to play a small role in joining in on the festivities.

Breakthru Illinois was once again honored to work with many of our suppliers to provide drinks for this prestigious and charitable event, including Diageo, Brown-Forman, E. & J. Gallo Winery and William Grant & Sons. During the course of an between Breakthru IL and MOWC, we’ve raise nearly $3 million for the organization, which in turn helps homebound seniors to remain in their homes.
“So many people in our communities rely on Meals on Wheels Chicago every day to live and thrive, we couldn’t be prouder to continue to call them our partners,” said Hillary Wirtz, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, AOA体育平台.
