All striking workers need to do is show their SAG-AFTRA or WGA card to receive a big grocery cart of food for free.
Kristina Wong is a SAG-AFTRA member and a regular World Harvest Food Bank. The food bank is different than most. Typically, you can shop for your food, and walk out with a full cart for a donation of just $55.
Hollywood writers went on strike in May. Earlier this week, actors joined the picket lines. Once actors hit the picket lines, Wong started to worry about how union members would keep food on the table. Being a regular at World Harvest, she reached out to Glen Curado."I originally said, ‘Glen you just have to offer a small hand basket,’ and he said 'No, let's offer a big cart of food,'" Wong said.
World Harvest Food Bank is open Mondays through Saturdays and is on Venice Boulevard in Arlington Heights.
