Join Us in Fighting Hunger! We previously partnered with the Chicago Food Depository for our annual God Bless the Gravy. This amazing organization is a vital resource for our community, providing food assistance to thousands of families in need.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Every dollar makes a difference. Consider making a financial contribution to the Food Depository.
Volunteer: Give your time and energy to help sort and distribute food.
Spread the word: Share this post with your friends and family to raise awareness about the Food Depository’s important work.
Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those facing hunger in our community. Let’s join hands and build a stronger, healthier Chicago!
This change reflects that the partnership with the Food Depository for God Bless the Gravy has occurred in the past.
