To honor those that lost their lives, the first responders and everyone that helped us get back on our feet after 9-11, I, along with many of my Chicagoland neighbors, spent yesterday building and filling boxes of food, for those in need, at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Worked my butt off this past Thursday with Care for Real and loved it. Unloaded more than half a dozen pallets of food that will go to community members in need. Great workout and great cause.

Another beautiful day of hiking in the Kankakee River State Park this past Saturday, with my buddy Joe Fister. So tranquil.

What a glorious weather weekend here in Chicago. I was lucky enough to spend time volunteering with @gayforgood.bsky.social Chicago at the Chicago FarmWorks, which is a program of Heartland Alliance in the East Garfield Park neighborhood.

As y'all know, I love to share my coffee house discoveries. I visited Brewpoint Coffee back in May. If you ever are in Elmhurst, Illinois, I suggest you check it out.

According to @feedingamerica.org 47 million people, including 14 million children, experience food insecurity annually in the USA. It is one reason I spent time yesterday volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
