“…underfed or overfed, people aren’t getting the nutrients and vitamins that lead to proper development.” – The Chicago Tribune
Each member of the Board of Directors contributes to the neighborhoods Common Threads serves and advances our commitment to our children and programs by offering strategic input, individual donations, and/or corporate sponsorships.
