CHICAGO (WLS) Despite the pandemic, the Union League Boys and Girls club in Pilsen is continuing to serve its neighbors in the best way it can.
When school started this fall, the club opened its doors and provided kids with e-learning assistance, access to wifi and meals - three times a day. If we want to make sure that our kids have all the energy that they need to stay in class and really get their work done throughout the day, we ve got to make sure that they have food, Program Director Anabel Hernandez said.
The club opened in 1919, intending to serve community youth. Since then, the mission has grown even stronger and the ties to local organizations have too.
