Chicago Food Depository's Holiday Food Drive a Success: Kate Maehr
Posted:
During the holiday season we asked you to step up and help feed the hungry by donating to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Food Depository Chief Kate Maehr said the results of their holiday food drive were even better than last year.
Maehr said the One City, One Food Drive brought in 468,886 pounds of food, which is about 35,000 pounds more than last year. She said need is only increasing, so it was great to have such a strong response.
