Hope HS @ Greater Chicago Food Depository

Continuing in Kennedy & DuSable's service, Hope High School was able to support the GCFD's operations the following day.

There were still plenty of cornflakes to be packaged and we were able to with other youth volunteers to get several additional pallets out the door and on their way to families in need.

Nearly 500,000 people each year rely on emergency and supplemental food provided by the Greater Chicago Food Depository and its member network of 600 food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters.

Serving at the GCFD prompted some great dialogue about hunger and resources in Chicago, the need for community-based non-profits, nutrition and certainly, what everyone had for breakfast and what makes you a 'breakfast person.'

Thank you to Maya Garcia-Warner & Greater Chicago Food Depository and also to Tony Escobar & Breakthrough Urban Ministries for providing us this great opportunity.
