for a few hours, such a great
organization in their goal to
solve hunger in Northern

massive scope of the hunger
problem in Chicago and how
GCFD is playing a big role in
trying to help the hungry.”
-Jim Folliard
Minds ight E mployee
8. “Having never stepped into a soup
kitchen before, I found the experience
both humbling and enriching. Each
person we served expressed deep
gratitude and the whole evening had
a sense of community and
togetherness.”
-Dave Gaudio
Minds ight E mployee
9. “I never really knew how beans grew
or where they came from. Shelling
beans for the food pantry not only
enabled me to learn more about
where my food comes from, but it
also enabled me to do something
good for our community.”
-Starza Thompson
Minds ight E mployee

work for a company with so
many individuals who are
willing to donate their time,
talents, and energy to help out
those in need.”
-Minds ight Employee
11. “Despite being a longtime resident of
Wheaton, I had no idea about the
good work being done at the People’s
Resource Center. I met a lot of good
people who were thankful for the
resources being provided.”
-John Irey
Minds ight E mployee
12. “Volunteering at the Wheaton Food
Pantry was very humbling and it
made me realize how we take even
the basic necessities for granted. The
clients were all very thankful and
appreciative..”
-Carrie Bleed
