CHICAGO HEIGHTS, IL (CBS) — Talk about a special delivery. This morning, the Bloom Township Food Pantry in Chicago Heights received a donation of thousands of snacks collected by student athletes.
High school athletes from the city and suburbs raised money and collected more than 130,000 donated food items that would normally be sold at games during the spring season. That adds up to about 1,300 boxes of food. Due to social distancing guidelines, one athlete each from Bradley, Manteno, Thornwood, Homewood-Flossmoor, and Bloom Township made the delivery in person on Wednesday.
