Helping Others On Christmas!

What do most people do on Christmas Eve morning? Last minute shopping? Relax? Wrap presents? Not some of us E&A members here in Chicago. We spent half of our day volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a nonprofit distribution center. We came together as a group of friends and recognized the needs of thousands of individuals and families during this special holiday. We packaged, sorted and organized food. These items went out to 650 pantries, soup kitchens and shelters in Chicago and the surrounding county. It was a nice opportunity to spend time together while sharing the common interest of helping others. Events and Adventures can proudly say that we assisted in feeding 150,000 hungry people a delicious Christmas meal. What an amazing accomplishment! Plus, some of us even caught a few minutes of fame as the FOX news Station reported alongside us as we were hard at work! Events And Adventures Chicago
