WILL COUNTY, IL A holiday that doesn t appear on traditional calendars National Sunday Supper Month, observed through Jan. 31 takes on added importance as so many Will County residents struggle to get enough to eat as they cope with coronavirus pandemic-related job losses, business failures and other economic hardships.
The idea behind National Sunday Supper Month is to rediscover the tradition of families spending time together at the dinner table to share stories from the previous week, according to Isabelle Laessig, the founder of the Sunday Supper Movement.
