Amid uncertainty in the migrant community, Top Box Foods, Illinois Venezuelan Alliance and partners joined forces to serve 2,000 Thanksgiving meals to migrant shelters across the city. Top Box Foods partnered with the Illinois Venezuelan Alliance and Chef Robert Magiet to deliver meals to six different migrant shelters across Chicago, serving adults and families’ fresh, healthy meals to celebrate Thanksgiving. “Top Box Foods is a leader in providing fresh, high-quality and healthy food to those most in need throughout Illinois,” said Connor DeLoach, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Top Box Foods. “We are incredibly grateful to be able to work with community partners to deliver Thanksgiving meals to migrant shelters throughout Chicago during this holiday season.” Many migrants who come to Chicago come with very little, struggling to find a safe place to live, work opportunities and fresh, healthy food.  “Those staying at our shelters are looking for hope and an opportunity to thrive,” said Ana Gil Garcia, Chair of the Illinois Venezuelan Alliance Board of Directors. “Knowing there are organizations like Top Box that can support them when they transition out of our facilities is huge for them.” Top Box Foods is a non-profit organization that partners with organizations and volunteers across Illinois to fresh produce and other healthy groceries.
