On this Day of Service, Cubs Charities pitches in at the Greater Chicago Food Bank
with more than 100 volunteers packing boxes of food to be distributed throughout Chicago.
Cubs players Jeremiah Estrada and Keegan Thompson were just some of the Cubs crew helping out. The RBI All-stars have now participated in six service events at the Greater Chicago Food Depository and they've help to pack nearly 120,000 meals. "I just think it's really important that our youth are here. And it's not just adults who are volunteering their time, and also that our youth are here with their families," said Alicia Gonzalez, executive director of Cubs Charities.
"It's just important for me because, of course, this day is just to give back and appreciate what I have, and having that appreciation and give it out to other people, those who are not in my situation. So it means a lot," said volunteer Luke Yolich.
