The Greater Chicago Food Depository was the recipient of 116,000 pounds of food last month. The donation was courtesy of the National Restaurant Association, who held their annual trade show at McCormick Place. The food donated by the NRA should provide meals for 87,000 people in the Chicago area. (The Stew)
