Hundreds of volunteers filled the Great Hall at Union Station on Monday to mark the 9/11 National Day of Service.
Their mission? To pack up some 450,000 meals to be distributed by the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
"Every time they finish a box, they yell out and celebrate. And isn't that great? It's worth celebrating," said Camerin Mattson, communications manager with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
