Review for Christmas Cheer Foundation, Northbrook, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Years ago this foundation started with one man's generosity, passion and selflessness. Phil Calabrese took this foundation from a couple hundred fresh hot boxed meals and hand delivered these meals to people less fortunate than himself. As the years went by the need for more meals became so great. He and his partner Lucille Dalbis have taken this foundation to a WHOPPING 15,000 prepared christmas meals and delivers them to the less fortunate people of Chicagoland. This is not the only thing they do, they also have toy and book drives for the children in these families. The love and passion that these two individuals put forth all year round just to prepare for this one morning a year is beyond comprehension. I have felt blessed to have been touched by these two very giving individuals. Christmas Cheer not only fills the bellies of the needy but fills the hearts of all who volunteer for them.
