Tandem Properties, a multi-family apartment community in Chicago's Logan Square, held their first food drive from December 5-29. Employees and residents were asked to donate non-perishable food items, such as peanut butter, canned soups, and cereal to help provide meals for their neighbors in need. A total of 100 lbs. of food was collected, which is the equivalent of approximately 80 meals!
Our longtime friends at New City Moving provided boxes for the event and also volunteered to deliver the donations to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
More than 661,000 people, including 1 in 6 children, in Cook County are food insecure. Thank you to the team at Tandem Properties and New City Moving for joining the fight against hunger and making a difference in your community!
