On Saturday June 23, Representative Elizabeth Hernandez (D-Cicero) participated in the 27th Annual Chicago Hunger Walk. Hernandez was accompanied by members of the Youth Initiative for Civic Engagement group (YICE). “For the past two years I have worked with my Youth Initiative for Civic Engagement group in hosting an annual food drive to provide local shelters with food to fill their pantries as well as organizing a Thanksgiving feast that serves over 500 local residents during the holiday,” Hernandez said. All proceeds from the walk will benefit soup kitchens, shelters, and food pantries throughout Cook County.
