Powering Rapid innovation during COVID-19

VOCEL was thrilled to partner with the Lavin Family Foundation on their #FeedItForward initiative to meet the needs of our families during an unprecedented moment, as well as support vital businesses in the communities where they live. #FeedItForward provided funding to VOCEL and other Chicago-area non-profits to partner with local, family-owned restaurants to provide meals for our families.

In six weeks, we provided over 3,000 meals to VOCEL families all across our city. It is innovative philanthropy like this that fuels our work – our VOCEL team was humbled to not only support our families – but also the amazing restaurant partners who worked with us.
