VIDEO: Celebrating Global Youth Service Day

Wilmette-Kenilworth and Winnetka-Glencoe Patches volunteered with Kids Against Hunger on Saturday.

Winnetka-Northfield Rotary Club hosted a food packaging event for Kids Against Hunger on April 18, Global Youth Service Day, at the Winnetka Community House.

More than 400 volunteers helped compiled 102,384 meal packs throughout the day—enough to feed 280 children in a year. Area residents, student organizations and even Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) lent a hand. Following the event, the food was shipped to Nicaragua.

Patch volunteered the final two hours of the event. Watch the video to learn more!
