"Somebody might not have a meal available, but I'm glad Fight2Feed is available to hand it out to the streets," said Vee Armer with Fight2Feed. "Anybody who is in need of a meal can reach out to us." Their goal is to distribute more than 2,000 hot meals across Cook, Lake, Kane and McHenry counties to people in need.Bonnie Villar has volunteered with Fight2Feed the past couple of years.
Organizers said what makes the effort special is preventing food from going to waste and that they're thankful to have a partnership with McCormick Place as part of the food service industry.
