Dr. Wilson announced, “I recognize that soaring inflation is causing pain on household budgets throughout Illinois. Over the last year the cost of food has risen nearly 12 percent according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Lower income families spend approximately 77 percent of their income on necessities. Inflation is eroding the savings of many Americans. In fact, the costs of milk and eggs are up 11 percent, meat is up 14 percent and fruits and vegetables 8 percent. I see and hear the pain of my fellow citizens and I must help. I am proud to partner with Seafood City to provide free grocery to families. ” Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Wilson has donated more than 30 million face masks to the City of Chicago, Mount Sinai Hospital, Jackson Park Hospital, the Chicago Transit Authority, Cook County Jail, Chicago Firefighters, Fraternal Order of Police, 75 senior citizen homes, the Westside NAACP, and 22 community organizations.
