On Thanksgiving Day, over 250 people, many of whom are without stable housing, came to Catholic Charities, 720 N. LaSalle St., to celebrate the holiday with a meal and fellowship.

On Nov 22, parishioners from St. Luke in River Forest hosted their annual “Turkey Sunday” food giveaway at St. Agatha Parish in North Lawndale. Those who came to the drive-thru giveaway received turkeys and all the trimmings to make a holiday meal.

For the past 13 years, Anthony Brown has delivered lunch bags of food six days a week, driving the Port Ministries Bread Truck to people who gather at eight stops in Back of the Yards, Englewood, New City, Gage Park and Canaryville.
