Tom Kane has supported a range of charitable organizations in Chicago and abroad. One of the non-profits that he has worked with is Feed-Chicago.
Feed-Chicago is a non-profit organization whose mission is to feed those who need it most during these uncertain times. By restoring restaurants and putting service employees back to work, Feed-Chicago is providing food, packaged safely and delivered with care, to heroes on the front line and heroes facing the greatest hardships.
“What started as a small grassroots effort by Sasha Adler Design to raise money and give back to the tireless, brave individuals working on the frontlines grew rapidly. Within days, a group of individuals formed a board who quickly rallied behind the cause to form the non-profit.
Thomas Kane, among other executives, was one of the initial funders of Feed-Chicago.
“The work they are doing goes beyond delivering an individual meal. There is one big plan – restore food service work, feed heroes and nourish communities that need it most.”
Some of the donations received by Feed-Chicago have provided meals to the following people and organizations: Chicago Police Department -18th District, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago Youth Programs, Mt. Sinai, among others.
When asked what he would like people to remember most about the coronavirus era, Thomas Kane responded with:
“The hope is that we will remember the outpouring of generosity and goodwill we witnessed from our fellow Americans. While it is nearly impossible to forget about the negative aspects of a tragedy, we can only hope that the positives far outweigh the bad and that we continue to learn valuable lessons along the way.”
