On September 30, 2015 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois hosted their second meal packaging event at their corporate headquarters in Chicago. 50,000 meals were packaged that day and donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
The food will be distributed across Cook County through a network of 650 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, mobile programs, children’s programs, older adult programs and innovative responses that address the root causes of hunger.
Over 300 volunteers worked in two shifts to package the meals which were specially fortified macaroni and cheese dinners providing ingredients important for a balanced diet. We at FEED6 felt privileged to work side by side with all these wonderful and dedicated employees of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois.
