"When I got back to Chicago in 1991, I wanted to find a soup kitchen. Back then, you didn't have the internet or Google so you couldn't go online and search. So I found Chicago Cares in the phone book, and I called." As Chicago Cares turns 30 this month, our CEO Jenné Myers interviews Celeste Davis — a Chicago Cares board member who is also one of the organization's longest serving volunteers. Celeste, a former civil rights executive with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, shares her career experience combatting discrimination, as well as reflections on the state of our country today, why volunteerism and civic engagement are as important as ever, and her hopes for the future.
