The Chicago Help Initiative is an extraordinary organization founded by Jacqueline Hayes in 2020. With her leadership the organization has grown from providing food for the hungry to also providing help and access to social services for the homeless, underprivileged, and jobless in Chicago.
How Can You Help?
Make bagged meals for those in need. Feeding Hope is a bagged meal program sponsored by CHI. On Wednesday and Saturday CHI collects bagged meals containing a sandwich, a drink, a snack, and a piece of fruit and distributes them to the needy.
Each meal should contain:
a sandwich of any kind.
a piece of fruit (ex: grapes, clementines, a banana)
a snack ( ex: chips, crackers)
a drink (a bottle of water or juice)
a dessert is a nice addition too! (cookies or cupcake etc)
How many meals? 1, 5, 10, 20? as many as you’d like!
