What Chicago is talking about this week:
The Greater Chicago Food Depository.
And there's no scandal here. It's just the local county not for profit food bank, which also has a well coordinated volunteer program. I posted pics on Friday, but I just can't say enough about the organization (I joined people from work in a larger group that included a bunch of White Sox fans and Southpaw, apparently the team mascot [sorry, I live within spitting distance of Wrigley], who entertained the crowds before we started [and second sorry, it was probably wrong for me to ask if you guys liked Ozzie because you really did or because you had to as dedicated fans]). Our task was creating bags of goodies for school kids to take home on the weekends if they lived in a suboptimal situation -- called Nourish for Knowledge.
Tour the facility, donate money, volunteer as an individual or in a group ... and that's just a few of the things that can be done -- not just this season, but all year round!
