Almost 2,000 volunteers marked the 24th anniversary of September 11 by doing good work to help others.
Volunteers from several corporations packed more than 525,000 healthy, non-perishable meals for those at risk of hunger. All of the meals will be donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository for distribution to individuals and families in need in Chicago.
They came together at Chicago’s Union Station as part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance.
“It is such a horrible day, but this brings some good to the bad,” said Polly Hupfeld with Meals of Hope.
Now in its 6th year, the Chicago Meal Pack for September 11th is one of 24 large-scale volunteer service projects being organized throughout the nation.
“Every donation, every volunteer, it all helps,” said Camerin Mattson with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
Across the U.S., more than 30,000 people volunteered at September 11 meal pack events, assembling more than nine million shelf-stable meals for food insecure Americans.
“If I can help, I am going to do it, that is why I am here today. This impacts a lot of people,” said volunteer Alexis-Moore Jones.
