FOX 32 Chicago Spotlights FEED6 and Chicago Wolves
at 8th Annual Hunger Heroes Event
CHICAGO, IL — November 9, 2025
The spirit of service was alive and well this weekend as nearly 500 volunteers joined forces for the 8th Annual Hunger Heroes meal-packing event, co-hosted by FEED6 and the Chicago Wolves professional hockey team at the Allstate Arena’s Skyline Room. Together, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners packaged 101,000 nutritious meals for food-insecure veterans and their families across Chicagoland.
The event—powered by the generosity of individuals, civic groups, corporations, and schools—brought people of all ages and backgrounds together under one roof, united by a shared goal of fighting hunger and honoring those who’ve served our country.
FOX 32 Chicago Feature and Studio Interview Coverage of this year’s Hunger Heroes event began a day earlier, when FOX 32 Chicago anchor Natalie Bomke welcomed FEED6 Co-Founders Bill Kanatas and Chris Coyne to the station’s studios for a live interview. The segment spotlighted FEED6’s mission, the importance of community-driven meal-packing initiatives, and the growing impact of the Hunger Heroes partnership with the Chicago Wolves.
On Saturday, FOX 32 returned to the Allstate Arena to film on-site as hundreds of volunteers worked in unison to pack meals for local veterans. The broadcast captured the contagious energy, teamwork, and uplifting atmosphere that define this annual event and its remarkable volunteers. “Every year, this event reminds us what community really means,” said Bill Kanatas, Co-Founder of FEED6. “Seeing families, veterans, and kids working side-by-side to make a tangible difference is what Hunger Heroes is all about. We’re incredibly proud to have exceeded our 100,000-meal target again this year.”
Community Impact Each production-line team—sponsored at $1,200—packed thousands of meals in just two hours, transforming compassion into action one scoop at a time. Since its inception, the FEED6–Chicago Wolves partnership has packaged more than 687,000 meals for those in need. The initiative continues to grow each year, fueled by the belief that when a community comes together, remarkable change happens. The event was powered by upbeat music from DJ Brandon of Beventco, who kept volunteers energized throughout the day.
