Last Saturday, almost half the team visited the Northern Illinois Food Bank and helped out. Our team has gotten lots of help from the mayor and our community in general, so it was great to give back to the community who has helped us so much. The Northern Illinois Food Bank is committed to solving world hunger by providing nutritious meals to the impoverished in the Boone, DuPage, DeKalb, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Will, and Winnebago counties. The team members started out by unloading food from the truck, sorting it, and then organizing it into an assembly line. Later, when people started coming in, they helped them pick out and load their food into their cars. Overall, the whole experience was fun and rewarding for everyone. The team members that went enjoyed the experience a lot, and said they would do it again. Look out for a blog post in the coming weeks about our next community outreach event at Feed My Starving Children!
