In the community

The Chicago team recently celebrated DEPT Cares Day with not one–but two! outings. Both were around a similar cause of ending hunger and food insecurity. With our fellow DEPTsters, we distributed quality food to participating food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters in Cook County.

On our first day, a group partnered with Nourishing Hope where we collected and distributed food items for those in need.

Our second opportunity is partnering with Greater Chicago Food Depository: Repack. At this organization, donated food comes in bulk quantities, and we broke it down into manageable sizes for better distribution.
