HungerHeroes2025! Meal Packaging Event
Details
Description
Outreach-Feed6 is now partnering with the Chicago Wolves Ice Hockey Team in hosting our 8th annual HungerHeroes! event focused on Veterans in the Chicago area. 'HungerHeroes2025!’ is an extraordinary spirit-enriching celebration of giving and caring in which anyone of any age or background can participate and extend love to those in need. It’s a work of joy - with music, entertainment, and the opportunity to share a celebratory experience with friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, work associates, and community residents. Teams of 10 to 12 volunteers will staff production lines producing thousands of delicious, nutritious meals of pasta in tomato basil sauce - fortified with soy protein, nutrients, and vitamins - and bagged, labeled, weighed, heat-sealed, and boxed employing strictly observed safety and hygienic precautions. Throughout the experience, Feed6 supervises production flow and quality. Our meals will be distributed to food-insecure veterans and their families by our local partners - Project Hope and veterans organizations - through a network of food pantries throughout the Chicagoland region.

Express Your Interest in This Opportunity
Our 8th annual HungerHeroes! meal packaging event will be held on Saturday, November 8th, 2025, just prior to the Veterans Day Holiday, at which we will package 100,000 nutritious meals for food-insecure veterans and their families in collaboration with the Chicago Wolves Ice Hockey Team and about 400 volunteers. The event will occur in the Skyline Room on the campus of Allstate Arena in Rosemont, near O’Hare.
There is a choice of two shifts - 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and Noon to 2:00 PM. We ask that volunteers arrive no later than 8:45 AM for the first shift and 11:45 AM for the second.
You have the option of working one shift, or you may elect to work both shifts. In your response, please identify your shift preference or if you're willing to work both. There is a break between the shifts of an hour, and there is space within the Skyline Room, should you wish to bring a bag lunch. There is also a large shopping mall with food options within easy walking distance.
Once you respond, you will receive an information kit with further details, directions, and maps to the event venue.
