This was a great event . . . again! Weather was perfect, and so were all the people there. We also posed with a woman who just had her 100th birthday. Incredible. The volunteers were great, too helping to organize the Hunger Walk -- they again took care of us with water and apples. How awesome. Great time!

Star Wars fans come in all ages, as demonstrated at the Greater Chicago Food Depository Hunger Walk. Young fans admire a costumed Durge (Thomas Spanos), and a woman celebrating her 100th birthday asks to be photographed with Star Wars characters. "For the fourth year in a row, Members of the Midwest Garrison appeared in costume to cheer on the participants in this annual event that raises money for the Greater Chicago Food Depository," writes Kathy van Beuningen of the Midwest Garrison. "Funds raised help agencies throughout Cook County provide food to almost 90,000 hungry people each week."
Plus a photo from this event is featured on the "Get in Tracks" page!
