Upcoming Food Drive Restocks South Suburban Food Pantries

April Food Day began in 2013 when a United Way of Metro Chicago noticed that food pantries needed help restocking their shelves after the holidays. Since then, it has been a compounding event, getting bigger every year and drawing in participation from schools, villages, and private businesses across the South Suburbs, according to Maya Hardy, chief professional officer and partner engagement for the South-Southwest Suburban Region of United Way of Metro Chicago.
