As we celebrate the holidays, many people in need come to rely on local food banks. One food pantry in West Englewood has been around for more than 20 years. It was started by Samella McKenzie who passed away last year. One of her final wishes was for her 10 children to continue her work and serve people.
Samella McKenzie left behind a great example to her children and neighbors of how one person’s act of kindness can contribute long-lasting goodness in communities.
