• "One of the most critical needs right now is food. Migrants in the shelters are being fed but there are no consistent meals for those at the police stations and the areas surrounding them. I just got off the phone with a friend who lives in the south loop who said that neighbors are encountering migrants who come to them and simply say "food.
  
  ICDI is not equipped to hand out meals although we are distributing snack bags.  What we can do is hand out McDonald's gift certificates at the police stations we are servicing.  I will be collecting gift cards in denominations up to $10.  When we have enough to give to all of the migrants at a station our case workers will distribute them."
  
  Can we step up and find a way of getting these gift cards....soon.   The person to contact is Pat Motto.   patricia_motto@yahoo.com
