The Kellogg Zell Fellows and ETA@Kellogg invite you to join us at the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) for a morning of volunteering — with a twist. Whether you're exploring the Zell Fellows program, looking to connect with the ETA community, or simply want to give back, you'll find something worthwhile here. ETA faculty Matt Littell and Alex Schneider will be on-site to lead a hands-on operational challenge designed for future operators. Expect to work, compete, and problem-solve in real time — all while contributing to a great cause. A charter bus departs from the Kellogg Global Hub at 7:30AM and returns approximately 1:30PM (traffic permitting). If you'd prefer to make your own way there, just indicate that at registration. Free onsite parking is available.
