Food distribution helps the hungry during the pandemic
If you ever had any doubt about the reality of hunger in an affluent community such as Evanston, all you had to do was show up at the Levy Senior
A line of cars with people seeking donations from the food bank.
A line of well over 100 cars stretched out of a back parking lot at the Levy Center this morning, down Mulford Street, and around the corner onto Dodge Avenue, all for a free box of fresh produce.
“Some of them showed up at 7 a.m. to be the first in line,” said Shawn Iles, of Interfaith Action of Evanston. The group co-sponsored the event with the City of Evanston. The Greater Chicago Food Depository provided the food.
