Packing for the poor

Volunteers, many from St. Ferdinand Parish, sort and pack non-perishable items at a warehouse in Elmhurst on Dec. 28. The items will be shipped to a mission in Kenya through the organization Missionaries for the Poor. The products were collected during food drives in various parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Chicago during Advent.
