“…underfed or overfed, people aren’t getting the nutrients and vitamins that lead to proper development.” – The Chicago Tribune

Common Threads staffers come from varying backgrounds, but share a concern for children, a commitment to positive social change, and a love of good food and the communities food can create and sustain.
