Hunger doesn't get the day off

Posted on 13:39 by Unknown

This Memorial Day, honor all those who have served by supporting those who are struggling.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 18,000 veterans in Cook County are living below the poverty level. The U.S. Conference of Mayors reports 10 percent of people homeless in Chicago are veterans.

Make a donation today and help the Greater Chicago Food Depository serve veterans.
