'A Taste That Matters' culinary benefit to raise money for Northern Illinois Food Bank

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Every day, thousands of families across the Chicago area struggle to put food on the table. For children, it can sometimes mean going without until their next meal.

That's where the Northern Illinois Food Bank comes in. The agency provides 250,000 meals every day to people across northern Illinois.
