As we approach the holiday season, the SMACNA Greater Chicago YES Committee is excited to announce a special volunteering opportunity to give back to our global community. We have partnered with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) to pack food for underprivileged children worldwide.

This mass food packing event aims to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. We believe that this initiative not only aligns with the values of our organization but also provides a unique opportunity for our members to come together and make a positive impact.

We invite you to join us in this heartwarming and rewarding experience. Your participation will help bring joy and nourishment to those who need it most.

We look forward to seeing you there!
