OAK LAWN, Ill. (WLS) -- With the holidays fast-approaching, one veteran's group is working to feed as many needy Chicago-area vets as possible.
Rather than distributing food baskets, they've partnered with Jewel-Osco to let veterans shop for their holiday meals.
Veterans can apply for food help through the group's website www.CaringPatriots.org or by emailing info@caringpatriots.org.
The volunteer nonprofit group "Caring Patriots" is changing their practices this year in accordance with pandemic-related public health advice.
