Waukegan parish provides Christmas meals

Most Blessed Trinity Parish in Waukegan distributed 170 Christmas food boxes and clothing to families in need at its food pantry on Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021. Visitors received a ham and a box filled with side dishes. The donations are made possible by partnerships with the Knights of Columbus Council #731, St. Patrick Parish in Lake Forest, St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Gurnee, and the Northern Illinois Food Bank. Most Blessed Trinity Parish's weekly food pantry helps individuals and families with food insecurity in the Lake County communities of Waukegan, North Chicago and Park City.
