The 4th Senate District Committee, along with state and community leaders and local organizations, was honored to attend this year’s annual Fathers & Families Thanksgiving Dinner in Chicago.


Hosted by Fathers who Care and the West side Community Stakeholders, this event acted as a testament to the heartfelt appreciation for the community held by all those in attendance and the desire for everyone to have a safe, warm and full holiday season. Many area families were in attendance to enjoy food and have a good time.
