It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week!

Our work at Inspiration Corporation wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers. From supporting our meals program to showing up at events and everything in between, you help keep it all moving.

We’re so grateful for your care and commitment—thank you for being such an important part of this work. 💛

Huge thank you to JT’s Genuine Sandwich Shop and Chef Cecil Rodriguez of FatCap Supper Club—both friends of Inspiration Corporation—for coming together to create something truly special: a one-of-a-kind limited Meatloaf Patty Melt.

We’re so grateful to be included in this collaboration, where $1 from every sandwich sold now through the end of April will directly support our programs and community.

Thank you both for your generosity. Be sure to stop by , try the sandwich, and support a great cause while you’re at it.

Thank you to all of our generous food sponsors (Taylor's Tacos, Connie's Pizza, American Culinary Federation, Jenny's Tofu, and River Roast) for making this year’s One Inspired Evening so special. The food was amazing, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support.

A special shoutout to our social enterprise restaurant team, , for showing up and showing out once again—taking on the role of the evening’s largest food vendor. We couldn’t do it without you.

What an incredible One Inspired Evening. It was so special to see so many new and familiar faces come together in support of our mission. This year was one for the books—with our most successful art auction, silent auction, and paddle raise to date. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

We’re proud to recognize our One Inspired Evening 2026 food and beverage sponsors. From incredible bites from local Chicago restaurants to a well-stocked open bar, they’re a big part of what makes the evening so special.🍻
