    The Chicago Bulls and Midway Moving and Storage hosted a holiday food drive on December 20 to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository. The food drive collected $798 and 6,103 pounds of food, providing approximately 7,422 meals for those in need.

    Prior to the tip-off of the Bulls’ home game against the Utah Jazz, fans were encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items at any of the United Center admission gates (gates open at 6 p.m.).

    High protein foods in unbreakable containers, as well as baby foods, diapers and hygiene products were highly recommended. Monetary donations to the Greater Chicago Food Depository in conjunction with the Bulls’ food drive were also collected at the gates that evening.

    Kirk Hinrich, Andres Nocioni, Joakim Noah, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Aaron Gray, Michael Ruffin and Lindsey Hunter also made personal donations of food to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

    Fans not attending that evening’s game can still assist in the collection by purchasing food items or making a donation in the virtual food drive at Bulls.com.
