Feds Feed Families Drive
NKHC's goal is to donate 200 cans/items to families in the Chicagoland area to support the 2024 Feds Feeds Families theme, Nourishing Our Neighbors Nationwide. Feds Feed Families is a healthy food drive that helps our neighbors by providing them with nutritious options. A healthy food drive is the collection of foods, both canned and fresh when possible, that are high in nutrients, protein, or fiber. (Pictured above: Antionette Hall, FFF/NKHC Coordinator)
