Macey, a novice in the Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago, places more bags of food on tables at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels in West Humboldt Park on March 31, 2020, as the religious community operated its regular food pantry. The pantry is usually indoors and guests can select their own food from shelves like a grocery store. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the religious community to move the weekly food pantry outdoors and limit food choice. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
