State Rep. Lilian Jiménez, D-Chicago, is highlighting three community organizations opening their doors to local students in need of healthy meals during Chicago Public Schools’ winter break through the city’s Safe Haven Program. Meals will be available Dec. 26, 27, 30 and Jan. 2 and 3.  Chicago Public Schools (CPS) operates the Safe Haven Program which provides students with additional learning opportunities, stronger mentor partnerships and academic advancement resources.
