Pastor to Hand Out 40,000 Eggs to Families

Pastor to Hand Out 40,000 Eggs to Families

Source: Chicago Sun-Times: https://bit.ly/4bQTQvC

Eggs for everyone: As egg prices soar due to bird flu, the Rev. Charlie Dates is leading an effort to distribute 40,000 eggs to community members. 

Key context: Many have had trouble finding eggs at grocery stores or can't afford eggs at current prices — which are nearly 60% more expensive than last year. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture expects egg prices to rise 41% this year over last year’s average of $3.17 per dozen.

Where they're from: Dates, who is head pastor at Progressive Baptist Church in Bridgeport and Salem Baptist Church in Pullman, said the churches purchased the eggs from wholesale distributor Sysco.

The goal: Each person who shows up will receive a carton of eggs, and Dates said he hopes to have enough eggs to pass out to nearly 3,000 families.

When: Saturday, March 15 between 12 and 2 pm

Where to find:

  • 47th and Wells

  • 55th and Wells

  • 35th Street and King Drive

  • 87th and Wells

  • 108th Street and Michigan Avenue
