Rachel Jacoby (ACCY, BA ‘18) says she’s drawing on everything she learned at Gies College of Business to launch the Chicago area chapter of Feed the Frontline. The grassroots campaign supplies local healthcare workers with meals purchased from family-owned local restaurants.

“It is easy to become overwhelmed watching the pandemic unfold, get stuck in the paradox of choice, and end up not doing anything,” said Jacoby. “I’m driven by the importance of community at times like this. I am approaching this project with resiliency, understanding I’m going to make mistakes but learn from them along the way.”
