Dr. Wilson to Provide Gas and Groceries to Chicago-Area Residents
Dr. Wilson to Provide Gas and Groceries to Chicago-Area Residents (Chicago, IL) — Philanthropist businessman Dr. Willie Wilson has announced another Grocery and Gas Giveaway on Saturday, June 15. Dr. Wilson will continue his philanthropy to help senior citizens and residents struggling with high food and gas prices.
The grocery and gas giveaway is on a first-come, first-served basis. Each participant for gasoline will receive $50 in free gas. Individuals participating in the grocery giveaway will receive a $25 grocery card that must be used the same day.
“A recent News Nation poll found that 58 percent of registered voters are living paycheck to paycheck. Soaring inflation, and high food and gasoline prices are causing pain on household budgets throughout Illinois and the country. Basic living expenses—housing, food, healthcare, transportation and taxes are causing people to rely on credit cards and food pantries to survive,” said Dr. Wilson. He continued, “I am proud to partner with senior homes, grocery stores, and gas stations, to provide for our residents.”
