Blessings in a Backpack Featured on WGN Chicago!
One of our student DIY 5K teams, Team Sweetness, got the chance to be featured on WGN Chicago news! Team Sweetness not only raises money by participating in the DIY 5K, but they also run our Franklin School program, packing food and feeding kids at Franklin every weekend. WGN reporter Erin McElroy and the video team did a story about our Team Sweetness program at Walter Payton High School. They followed students to deliver the food at Franklin School.
WGN broadcasted the story on November 20 and 21, and it will air again between December 2 and December 15.
Special thanks to Emeritus Board member Maribeth Cleary for introducing Blessings to Dina Bair at WGN.
