Sending a BIG shout out to the HCS volunteers and team for their commitment to solving food insecurity--even in Friday's pouring rain! Despite our pantry closure due to voting and early voting, we are distributing food in Hinsdale thanks to our partnership with the Unitarian Church who allows us to use their parking lot on Mondays and Fridays! We are so grateful!

Happy 13th Birthday, Lily! Instead of asking for presents for her 13th birthday, Lily collected food and essentials for those in need! What a huge heart! We are so grateful for you, Lily!😍🥰❤️
