LAKE FOREST, IL USA –Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago’s Lake Forest office, in conjunction with the firm’s Kindness Foundation, packed 9,090 pounds of food, enough for 7,575 meals at the Northern Illinois Food Bank. In all, 20 agents and staff participated, repackaging cereal into smaller packages. The NIFB works with more than 900 food pantries, mobile food truck markets, and soup kitchens who distribute perishable and non-perishable foods that people can choose from based on their specific dietary needs. BHHS Chicago’s annual Community Kindness is an event where agents and employees provide additional support to an organization of their choosing. This year, they chose to support the NIFB.
Kevin Rynes, managing broker of the Lake Forest office, said, “Our Lake Forest agents and staff had an amazing time volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank. When you understand how great the food assistance need is, you simply must get involved. We were glad to help them out and plan to do so again in the future. I’d like to thank our Lake Forest office Kindness Foundation Ambassadors Elizabeth Jakaitis and Donna Mancuso for their work coordinating this event!”
