United Way of Metro Chicago recently enjoyed special team lunches from Huaraches Chicago (pictured above) and Tio Luis Tacos in Brighton Park. It was so delicious – we went back for seconds (and maybe even thirds).
United Way is committed to showing up for our neighbors and neighborhoods. Many individuals and families are experiencing increased challenges amid rising costs, policy changes impacting SNAP and other programs, unemployment, community trauma and fear, and many other factors. Local economies are hurting.
