Lou Malnati’s continues 17-year tradition giving Thanksgiving meals to needy families

November 22, 2025

Last weekend, a group of our high school students volunteered to pack 1,200 “Boxes of Love” for Chicago families in need, including 360 By The Hand families. For 17 years, Lou Malnati’s has hosted this community event, filling each basket with a turkey, vegetables, soups, cookies, and more to help families enjoy a home-cooked meal during the holiday season. Moments like these give our students a powerful way to serve their communities and see firsthand how their time and compassion can make a difference.
